ROCHESTER, Mich. - Aug. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- National political science honor society Pi Sigma Alpha (PSA) recently awarded its Oakland University chapter, Nu Omega, with a Best Chapter Award for the fourth time in five years.

This year, Oakland’s PSA chapter sent eight students to present during the PSA’s National Student Conference and Oakland PSA member Katie Simons was named a 2015 McManus Washington Internship Scholarship recipient, among other accolades. Along with regularly placing participating members in conferences and forums across the country, Nu Omega has since 2013 been the home of The Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics.

In 2014, Nu Omega also inducted its largest number of members – 63 – since the chapter was chartered at OU in 1983.

Sean Twombly, administrator at Pi Sigma Alpha’s national office in Washington, D.C., said it was clear the chapter had an outstanding year. “We plan to hold up your chapter’s accomplishments to other chapters to help them see how a vibrant Pi Sigma Alpha community operates.”

For being named a 2015 Best Chapter of a school with enrollment of 15,000-24,999, Nu Omega will receive a check for $250, a formal letter and a certificate from the national PSA organization.

Pi Sigma Alpha is the only honor society for college students of political science and government in the United States, is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) and is designated as a “Specialized, Upper-Division” society by ACHS.
