Rewarding exceptional work

In April and May of each year, Student Affairs takes time to recognize the numerous contributions of students, staff, and faculty from the past year.

Delta Alpha Pi Honor Society

The Office for Student Accessibility initiated 33 students into Delta Psi, NKU’s chapter of Delta Alpha Pi (DAPi) Honor Society, in the Spring of 2021. Delta Alpha Pi recognizes students with disabilities for their academic accomplishments and facilitates development of skills in leadership, advocacy, and education for participating students. In order to be eligible for induction into DAPi, students must present with a documented disability and be registered with the Office for Student Accessibility. Undergraduate students must have completed a minimum 24 credits and have a 3.10 GPA and graduate students must have completed a minimum of 18 credits and have a 3.30 GPA. Due to COVID restrictions, students participated in a virtual induction in lieu of our traditional in person induction.
