Alpha Upsilon Alpha 2024
The 2024 Alpha Upsilon Alpha Inductees
The School of Education congratulates the 2024 inductees of Alpha Upsilon Alpha, the honor society of the International Literacy Association. It was formed in 1985 to recognize and encourage scholarship, the development of personal and professional leadership, and service to the field of reading at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. These candidates are all future teachers who have worked extraordinarily hard to be recognized in the field of literacy. Their membership is a result of maintaining high academic performance throughout their respective programs, as well as continuously demonstrating a commitment to learning and leadership.
An individual may become a member of the honor society by applying to or being nominated by the screening committee of an Alpha Upsilon Alpha chapter. The Greek letters chosen for this honor society are significant: They come from the words Anagnosis (reading), Upotrophia (scholarship), and Archon (leadership). The society motto, which is attributed to Horace, says it all: "Lege sapere aude," or "Read, dare to be wise." We celebrated the inductees on February 7th, 2024, in the Mundelein Palm Court.
Inductees:
Top row: Sofia Brown, Ellie DeBock, Jake Bartilad, Skylar Baker.
Bottom row: Diya Ramhtullah, Emma Bogdanov, Anna Kougias, Claire Mannion, Samantha Pescar.
