Lambda Alpha, The National Anthropological Honor Society

Bi-annually, eligible students are inducted into Lambda Alpha (LA), the National Anthropology Honor Society. Anthropology majors and minors who have achieved excellence in the pursuit of their anthropological studies at Seton Hall are invited to join the Seton Hall chapter. When appropriate, the honor society advisor nominates a Seton Hall chapter member for the national LA award for distinguished undergraduate research. During the induction ceremony, a program alumnus who best illustrates the principles of the anthropological worldview in his or her professional life is invited to speak to new members. In 2019, the Lambda Alpha alumna speaker was Angela Ashman (B.A. Anthropology, Seton Hall class of ’15, M.A. in Anthropology, New School for Social Research class of ’17), account executive at Education First in their Cultural Care division in Cambridge, MA.
