Congratulations to the new Tau Sigma inductees!

Tau Sigma National Honor Society, an academic honor society for transfer students, was formally installed on campus and inducted 93 members at its inaugural ceremony Sunday, April 19, in the Eugene McDermott Library McDermott Suite.

Tau Sigma National Honor Society offers you an opportunity to be a member of an honor society for transfer students. Tau Sigma recognizes the academic excellence of transfer students, while encouraging and promoting involvement in the university community, especially in activities that assist other transfer students in making a successful transition.

Students are invited to join this organization after completing one semester (12 semester credit hours or more) at UT Dallas and earning at least a 3.5 UT Dallas GPA. Invitations will be mailed near the beginning of the Spring term. For more information about this organization, visit the Tau Sigma National Honor Society web site.
