2025 ASL Honor Society Ceremony

Induction into the Alpha Sigma Lambda (ASL) Honor Society is no ordinary accomplishment. In fact, the GPA range for students inducted this year was between 3.92 and 4.000 - of which 29% had a perfect 4.000 GPA. It's an impressive achievement, and one worthy of celebration.

On Saturday, October 18, 2025, UMass Lowell held its 40th annual Alpha Sigma Lambda induction ceremony where the Division of Graduate, Online & Professional Studies inducted 146 adult students into the prestigious honor society - recognizing their remarkable academic achievements.

This year, inductees hailed from 19 states across the nation and from three countries internationally including Sweden, Singapore, Panama and and Bangladesh.

ASL History

The Gamma Delta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda is a national honor society for undergraduate Online & Professional Studies students. The aim of Alpha Sigma Lambda is to recognize adult students who achieve academic excellence in their course work while performing the many responsibilities associated with their families and careers. Eligibility for membership requires that students rank in the top 20 percent of all students who meet certain academic requirements. Selections for membership are made during the Spring, and students who are invited to become members are inducted into the Society in April.

For UMass Lowell, having an ASL chapter serves as a way to inspire continued scholastic growth, recognize students' dedication to excellence, and invite them to associate with similarly motivated students.

Criteria for Student Eligibility

In order to be considered for membership in Alpha Sigma Lambda, students must meet the following criteria:

  1. Must be a matriculated undergraduate/non-traditional student with at least 24 credits earned at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
  2. Must have a GPA of 3.2 or above.
  3. Must be in the top 20% of those undergraduate Online & Professional Studies students who satisfy the requirements of all three of the above criteria.
