We had a wonderful time last night celebrating the newest inductees into UNC Asheville's Eta Iota Chapter of Tau Sigma.

Tau Sigma is a national honor society designed exclusively for transfer students. Its mission is to recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students.

All inductees obtained a 3.5 GPA or greater during their first semester at UNC Asheville. Although all of our inductees were not able to attend, we had an impressive group attend the induction ceremony.

Congratulations to each and every one of you! We appreciate our transfer students here at UNC Asheville and celebrate in your great accomplishments!
