What is Lambda Pi Eta?

The original chapter of Lambda Pi Eta was initiated by the students of the Department of Communication at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. The organization was officially founded by faculty member Stephen A. Smith in 1985. The organization became a national academic honor society in 1987 affiliated with the National Communication Association. The NCA is the official Communication Studies organization. In 1995 Lambda Pi Eta became the official NCA Honor Society for undergraduate students and alumni.

Winona State's Nu Pi chapter was started by associate professor Dr. Emilie Falc in 2002, and has ___ alumnus as members and fifteen current active members. The chapter is sponsored by the Communication Studies department and the Winona State University Student Senate.

According to the national organization, each chapter of Lambda Pi Eta's purpose is to recognize, foster, and reward outstanding scholastic achievement in Communication Studies, to stimulate interest in the field of communication, to encourage student/faculty relationships, and to help students explore careers and graduate education in the field.
