Academics
April 9, 2021
Twenty-five students from the College of Saint Benedict were accepted for induction into the Omega Chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma (DES) this academic year.
This year’s induction ceremony was a small, private gathering on Friday, April 9, including the inductees, CSB Interim President Laurie Hamen, CSB/SJU Provost Richard Ice, CSB/SJU Academic Dean Barb May, and Margrette Newhouse, chair of the DES selection committee.
Select CSB juniors and seniors are inducted into DES each year based on a series of criteria. Students must maintain a 3.9 grade-point average or higher on a 4.0 scale, while also being involved in the community through volunteer and extracurricular activities.
DES is a national Catholic Honor Society with the purpose of recognizing academic accomplishments, dedication to intellectual activity and service to others. CSB has been a member of DES since its beginning in 1940.
