April 4, 2013

The inaugural induction ceremony for Lambda Nu Honor Society (Indiana Theta Chi Chapter) will be held at 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, 2013, in room 2207 of the University Center at the University of Southern Indiana. Lambda Nu is a national honor society for radiologic and imaging sciences professionals.

"This will be the first chapter here at USI and only the third chapter in the state of Indiana," said Heather Schmuck, instructor in Radiologic and Imaging Sciences and Lambda Nu faculty adviser.

Schmuck presented the idea to establish the USI chapter to Ashley Merkel as an honors project for her radiologic technology major. Merkel has been part of the honors program at USI since spring 2012. She worked closely with Schmuck to set up the chapter, recruit members, and plan the installation ceremony. Seven faculty members and 17 students will be inducted.
