Gamma Kappa Alpha National Italian Honor Society

Italian Chapter Advisor
Amanda Bush

The Department is a member of the Gamma Kappa Alpha National Italian Honor Society. The Gamma Kappa Alpha is the only Italian honor society in the United States and Canada and has over fifty chapters in North America. The society was formed to acknowledge superior scholastic performance in the field of Italian language, literature, and culture. It encourages a greater interest in, and a deeper understanding of, Italian culture, art, and history.

The society recognizes outstanding undergraduate scholarship in the field of Italian by awarding annually the Gamma Kappa Alpha Award for Scholarship. Students majoring in Italian (or with an Italian concentration) who distinguish themselves for their outstanding performance in Italian, are eligible for induction into the honor society at the end of their undergraduate career.
