Lambda Pi Eta
Lambda Pi Eta is the official communication studies honor society of the National Communication Association. The purpose of the organization is to recognize outstanding communication studies students and provide them with professional development opportunities. Currently about twenty members belong to the UW – La Crosse Chapter of Lambda Pi Eta (Zeta Omega). Some of the activities they have been busy with include volunteering at the Career Fair, speaking with prospective students at Campus Close-Ups, and hearing from guest speakers on a variety of topics such as salary negotiation and graduate school. Later this semester they plan to visit the Communication/Marketing Department of a local organization. Other plans for the upcoming year include a Christmas social and volunteering at a charitable community event.
