Alpha Lambda Delta
The Art Institute of Washington is in the
process of petitioning for membership to
Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD). Alpha Lambda
Delta is an honor society for students in
their first year at an institution of higher
education. They're a national organization
that's been in existence since 1924.
The Art Institute of Washington is partnering
with ALD to recognize those students with a 3.5 CGPA or
higher, are enrolled full time in a Bachelor's degree
program. Alpha Lambda Delta's mission is to
"encourage
superior academic achievement... to promote intelligent living
and a continued high standard of learning, and to assist
students in recognizing and developing meaningful goals."

Peer Mentoring
They say
"experience is the best teacher." That is why we pair upper level students with newcomers at The Art Institute of Washington. You will have the option of being matched with a peer mentor to serve as a sounding board for anything that might present a problem. Whether it is social, personal or academic, you can rely on a peer mentor to steer you in the right direction.
