ONU political science Pi Sigma Alpha chapter receives national award

Ohio Northern University's Pi Iota chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, a national political science honors society, has been awarded a Best Chapter Award for 2022-2023. This is the sixth year that the chapter has received this award, which society Executive Director Tonya Schwarz, Ph.D., called “quite an achievement.”

These awards recognize local chapters that are particularly active in their institutions and communities and embody the society’s mission to stimulate scholarship and intellectual interest in political science. The Pi Iota chapter joins four other chapter award recipients from institutions similar in size, out of over 850 Pi Sigma Alpha chapters.

“We were impressed with the chapter’s achievements in developing activities supporting student leadership, especially given the significant challenges faculty and students around the world continue to face post-COVID,” said Schwarz.

Becoming a college student or transferring to a new campus can be daunting. OLs make this important rite of passage much less so by providing guidance, answering questions, and much more. In the process, they learn a lot about themselves, too.
