Public Safety Signals

Nicola Davis Bivens - Public Safety Faculty Says:

I would encourage all of you who meet the criteria for Alpha Phi Sigma to submit an application for membership. At one time, the Federal employment process would grant/award “points” to applicants who were honor students and/or members of national honor societies, therefore membership would be beneficial in the Federal application process. Some states also recognize national honor society membership in their application process (I know at one time, the application for North Carolina state employment once contained a section for applicants to list national honor society membership).

For those of you who are charter members of the chapter, congratulations. Drs. Perkins’ and Cassirer’s presence speaks volumes to Capella’s commitment to its learners. I was inducted into Alpha Phi Sigma at another institution when in my Master’s program and I can assure you neither the University’s president nor the School Dean were present. It was a nice cermony and I join Dr. Tiffin in congratulating the inductees.

So, how would one go about getting the information on how to join Alpha Phi Sigma? I am in my first quarter right now so I am sure I cannot join yet, but I would like to know the information so when I am eligible I can join. Thanks!

Hello Mark and Jen, please go to the Alpha Phi Sigma National Honor Society homepage at http://www.alphaphisigma.com. There you will see a list of membership requirements as well as the membership form. Once you are eligible please let me know and I’ll be happy to share additional details for enrolling in the Capella chapter. Students at other schools can also consult this homepage for a list of member schools across the country.

Thanks for the notes!
