ODK Leadership Honor Society inducts new members 

An Elon educator and 65 students were inducted in a Feb. 7 ceremony.

 

Sixty-five students and an Elon University educator were inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership honor society, on February 7, 2016. Dr. Kenn Gaither, Associate Dean of the School of Communications and Associate Professor of Communications, was the keynote speaker and inducted into the Circle as well.  

Gaither teaches courses in international public relations, public relations, and mass communication and serves as a series editor for the Cambria Press Communication Collection. His keynote address focused on the importance of student leadership and the impact that students can have as leaders, making several references to prominent ODK members that have made a lasting impression on the world.

ODK members are distinguished for high academic achievement, diverse leadership experiences, and demonstrated growth in leadership skills. The student inductees were invited to the Elon Circle of ODK after reaching the top 33 percent of the junior and senior class. Students who applied were selected for induction based on their exemplary leadership across six phases of campus life, including athletics, the arts, communication, scholarship, community service, and multicultural experience.
