Widener Recognizes Lyndsay Mercier During Honors Week

2012 Apr 10

Lyndsay Mercier of Brookhaven, PA, was inducted into Gamma Eta Rho, the first national honor society in human sexuality, during Widener University's 2012 Honors Week. This society was established to encourage and recognize excellence in intellectual achievement, critical inquiry and creative thought relating to all aspects of human sexuality.

The first chapter of Gamma Eta Rho, the Alpha Nu chapter, was established at Widener in 2008. Widener is home to the only human sexuality doctoral program housed at an accredited institution. Its human sexuality master's and doctoral programs attract students from around the world.
