ADRIAN, Mich. - Adrian College now has a new honorary society. Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honorary society, has recently been installed as the Alpha Zeta Beta chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, inducting a total of nine members.

The formal initiation took place on April 16 and the development of the society started last October; the chapter advisor is Dr. James Hanley, Adrian College associate professor of political science. Will Morrisey, a professor from Hillsdale College and member of Pi Sigma Alpha, was present at the ceremony last Thursday, and Dr. Dale Nesbary, vice president and dean of academic affairs was also present to say a few words.

Matt Stiller, president and founder of the new society, said that Pi Sigma Alpha is usually the cornerstone of any political science department and that he’s happy to see Adrian College now offer it.

"This is a momentous occasion for both academics and political science at Adrian College,” said Stiller. “This is something that I have been trying to make a reality since last October, and it is great to finally see this dream come to fruition."
