Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Va. – Virginia Wesleyan College's chapter of Lambda Pi Eta, the official communication studies honor society of the National Communication Association, welcomed 11 new members into its chapter on Thursday, April 30.

• Recognize, foster, and reward outstanding scholastic achievement.
• Stimulate interest in the field of communication.
• Promote and encourage professional development among communication majors.
• Provide an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas about the field.
• Establish and maintain close relationships and understanding between faculty and students
• Explore options for graduate education in communication studies.

New members inducted were Giacomo Biscotti '10 from Chesapeake, Va.; Devin Cowhey '10 from Glenside, Pa.; Alisa Crider '10 from Virginia Beach, Va.; Morgan Franklin '10 from Newport News, Va.; Meghan See '11 from Louisa, Va.; Lindsey Sigafoos '10 from Virginia Beach, Va.; Heather Templeton '10 from Hayes, Va.; and Chelsea Wiseman '10 from Virginia Beach, Va.

To become a member of Lambda Pi Eta, students must have an overall GPA of at least 3.0, maintain a 3.25 GPA in communication courses and display commitment to the field of communication.
