Ag Honor Society Inducts Students, Staff

Kim Miller, an associate professor in agribusiness and food industry management, speaks at the Gamma Sigma Delta induction ceremony.

Nearly 70 Huntley College of Agriculture students and staff were inducted April 11 into a national agricultural honor society.

The Cal Poly Pomona chapter of the Gamma Sigma Delta honor society held its annual induction ceremony on April 11 at Kellogg West.

Gamma Sigma Delta is a national honor society dedicated to recognizing students, faculty, alumni, or supporters in the agricultural area. Inductees are nominated or invited by the local chapter to join the organization.

Prospective inductees must meet the following criteria:

  • Undergraduate nominees must be junior students who rank in the top 5 percent of their class and senior students who rank in the upper 15 percent of their class; they also must show promise of leadership.
  • Graduate students must have at least a 3.5 grade point average, show great potential for future leadership, be nominated by chapter members, and elected.
  • Faculty nominees must have worked for at least three years in agriculture and related sciences at the initiating university and exhibited outstanding achievement in the areas of teaching, research, and/or extension.
  • Alumni are eligible for election five or more years after graduation if they have provided outstanding service to agriculture.
  • Individuals who are involved in agricultural or related sciences as leaders at the university, community, state, regional, or national level but who are not eligible in the above categories, may be invited to honorary membership. Each chapter is limited to electing on honorary member per year.
