Spring 2020 Inductions

On April 2, the Tau Chapter held two virtual induction ceremonies for 217 new members. The induction ceremonies were held through Zoom, a virtual conferencing software. Two ceremonies were conducted to provide for flexibility to students who live in different areas of the world. Students attended from the United States to Japan.

The Alpha Sigma Lambda-Tau Chapter has been holding virtual induction ceremonies for several years to accommodate the global population of UMGC. However, this year’s ceremonies were held during a worldwide move to bring classes, meetings, ceremonies, events, and more online, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent restrictions. At UMGC, hybrid courses and on-site events had to quickly move online and even the Commencement next week will be a virtual celebration.

Unfortunately, due to the current restrictions, the membership packet mailing for all new inductees has been delayed. The membership packets will go out when restrictions are lifted and UMGC employees are able to return to their offices. Any new inductee who wishes to receive an electronic (pdf format) letter of verification of their membership into Alpha Sigma Lambda can email asl@umgc.edu.
