SVC’s Top Scholars: The 2002 Alpha Chi Vermont Delta Induction Ceremony

Vermont Delta Chapter number 351 was installed at SVC in 1999.

Southern Vermont College was home to a active chapter of the Alpha Chi National College Honor Scholarship Society, and this 2002 program details the new member induction ceremony.

A look back at the faculty, staff, and student honorees from the 2002 Vermont Delta Chapter induction.

SVC faculty members were known to bend over backwards for their students, so it comes as no surprise that Professors Greg Winterhalter, Holly Madison, and John Damino served as Vermont Delta Chapter 351 sponsors.

Southern Vermont College President Barbara Sirvis was a guest of honor, recognized for her unrelenting devotion to the success of SVC and its students.

Zen Buddhist Priest and Professor Thomas Redden conducted the invocation.
