Sigma Iota Rho
Students who have a grade point average of 3.4 in their major and 3.3 overall are eligible for membership in the honor society of international studies, Sigma Iota Rho. The purpose of the Society is to promote and reward scholarship and service among students of International Studies and to foster integrity and creative performance in the understanding of world affairs. Membership in Sigma Iota Rho is intended not only to enhance the credentials of its members, though public recognition of the best and the brightest students in international studies is one of our main purposes, but is meant to encourage a life-long devotion to a better understanding of the world we live in and to promote continuing support for and engagement in education, service, and occupational activities that reflect the mission of Sigma Iota Rho.
