  • FAQ About AΩA at Uconn SOM
    FAQ about AΩA at UConn SOM 1. Will UCONN SOM have an AΩA Chapter? Yes, UConn SOM is establishing an AΩA chapter with implementation pending a site visit from AΩA. The first student members from the Class of 2019 will be selected no later than the fall of 2018, in time for AΩA to be noted on the ERAS application and supportive materials. 2. How was it decided that we were going to adopt AΩA? After more than two years of discussion, student surveys and faculty input, advice from the Councils and from the Academic Affair subcommittee of the Board of Directors, careful study and much contemplation - Education Council voted to adopt a chapter of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AΩA) Honor Society at our institution. This was a much more deliberate process than has been undertaken for other decisions such as implementing the Gold Humanism Honor Society, which was put into place without this robust type of process. 3. Who can get elected to AΩA? Students, faculty, residents, and alumni can be elected to AΩA. In addition to students, each year our chapter may select 3-7 residents/fellows for membership and 2-6 faculty members, depending on the size of the graduating medical school class. These individuals are expected to be selected by members of the society, hopefully as we develop our chapter also including students. Two to six alumni/alumnae may also be elected each year. Potential alumni inductees can be identified with input from faculty members, the alumni association, academic affairs and the office of the dean.

(Iota Iota Iota, women's studies) and Upsilon Pi Epsilon (computer science). University-wide honorary societies include the Boulder Society, which acknowledges outstanding senior men; and the Tower Society, which acknowledges outstanding seniors from all groups who have been traditionally marginalized based on their gender identity or expression. National honorary societies represented on campus are as follows: The Alpha of Vermont Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at the university in 1848 and has the honor of being the first Phi Beta Kappa chapter to initiate women and African Americans to membership, which it did in the 1870s. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa reflects outstanding academic achievement in a broad range of liberal arts disciplines and is typically extended to students in their senior year. The chapter also selects one junior each year to receive the Bogorad Award, which recognizes superlative academic achievement in the liberal arts through the sophomore year. The Mortar Board is a national society for senior women and men. Although membership in Mortar Board comes as a high honor for a UVM student in recognition of outstanding service, scholarship, and leadership, it is also a challenge for continued unselfish service in the best interests of the college campus.
