Affirming Our Values – Statement on Charlottesville

18 Aug

Posted by Tara Singer on August 18, 2017 • Blog, Miscellaneous

Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society, recognizes and encourages superior leadership and exemplary character.  Members are expected to adhere to the highest standards of scholarship, service, integrity, character, and fellowship. The hatred, bigotry, racism, and violence witnessed in Charlottesville and other communities is antithetical to our values.  The O∆K Idea affirms and promotes openness and inclusiveness among all people.
