Omicron Delta Epsilon
The
International Economic Honors Society
Omicron
Delta Epsilon was founded by Professor John R. Commons
at
the University of Wisconsin in
1915. The intent was to encourage
a
closer relationship between exceptional students and faculty.
The
Department of Economics at Ithaca College sponsors the Alpha
Upsilon
chapter. Currently, Omicron Delta
Upsilon has 535 chapters in
10
nations.
Potential
members are selected based upon either GPA or the
recommendation
of a faculty member. Members are
expected
to
maintain a 3.3 GPA in their economics courses and an overall
GPA
of 3.0. Economics majors and minors may
become members.
In
order to graduate with honors in economics students must qualify
for
Omicron Delta Epsilon.
There
is a $27.00 initiation fee. In return,
students receive a membership
scroll
and a one-year subscription to The American Economist.
The
initiation fee entitles the student to lifetime membership in ODE; there
are
no annual membership fees.
For
more information, contact Professor Shaianne Warner, the faculty advisor
to
ODE.
