NEWTON, Mass. — Emma Vierling of Monmouth was inducted this spring into the National College Athlete Honor Society at Lasell University.

Lasell recently was accepted into the honor society as the Massachusetts Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma, which recognizes student-athletes from accredited four-year NCAA, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA institutions who excel in both the classroom and competition.

In order to be inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, a student-athlete must attend a four-year accredited college or university that is a member of the NCAA, NAIA, NCCAA, or USCAA. The honoree also must achieve at least junior academic standing by the fifth semester or seventh quarter, as determined by the certifying institution, and must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of a 3.4 on a 4.0 scale.
