Alpha Chi Student Garners Academic Awards

Huntington University’s Chapter of the Alpha Chi National College Honor Society garnered awards for student work at the Alpha Chi National Convention held in Austin on March 24-26. Erika James, a history/political science major, won an Alpha Chi national scholarship as well as a regional scholarship for her paper “The Shadow Docket: Leaving Americans and Courts Under a Veil of Ignorance.” Erika serves as president of Huntington University’s Alpha Chi chapter. Dr. Tanner Babb, associate faculty sponsor who is associate professor of psychology and associate academic dean, was elected as a regional president to replace Dr. Ruth Nalliah, professor of chemistry, as her term as regional president expired. Dr. Babb also serves as an editor of the organization’s scholarly journal, Aletheia. Student election to Alpha Chi is the highest academic honor at Huntington University.
