Alyssa Abbott Inducted into Iota Iota Iota National Honor Society

2017 Feb 7

Alyssa Abbott was one of four students inducted into the Iota Iota Iota (or Triota) National Honor Society for Women's Studies during a ceremony recently held in Cowles Hall, Elmira College.

The induction ceremony recognized students who have excelled academically in gender and women's studies, and fostered feminist scholarship, promoted personal growth, and increased awareness of issues pertaining to gender, race, class, sexuality, and other intersecting dimensions of identity.

The Greek letter, Iota, represents three ancient and powerful female goddesses, Inanna, Ishtar, and Isis. Triota supports academic excellence and facilitates community among students interested in gender and equality issues.

Elmira College hosts the Mu Chapter of Triota, which was formed in 2003.
