Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society

The Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society was established in 1945-46 to honor students in Continuing Higher Education for superior scholarship and leadership. There are nearly 300 institutional chapters throughout the United States. Alpha Sigma Lambda is devoted to the advancement of scholarship and to the recognition of Continuing Education students who accomplish academic excellence while managing competing responsibilities at home, work and in their communities.
