2014 Apr 7

Amir Farag of Chester, PA was recognized as a member of Chi Alpha Epsilon, a National Academic Development Programs Honor Society, during Widener University's 2014 Honors Week.

Chi Alpha Epsilon was formed in 1989 to recognize the academic achievements of students admitted to colleges and the universities through non-traditional criteria and serves developmental, McNair Scholars, and Educational Opportunity Program students. Its purposes are to promote continued high academic standards, to foster increased communication among its members, and to honor academic excellence achieved by those students. The involvement of eligible alumni enables networking for members. Programs sponsored by the society encourage other students toward this accomplishment.
