Why Join?

Your Communication education happens both inside and outside the classroom.

Being part of Lambda Pi Eta gives you an opportunity to make more of your time in the School of Communication.

We want to bring together students who are academically motivated, professionally driven, interested in Communication, and excited about becoming more connected to their peers, faculty, school, and community.

As a participant in Lambda Pi Eta, you can have opportunities to:

Earn Academic Recognition
Official induction into Lambda Pi Eta recognizes outstanding academic achievement in the Communication discipline.

Build Your Professional Network
Develop relationships with Communication students, faculty, alumni, graduate students, and professionals.

Prepare for Your Career
Participate in career panels, professional development workshops, alumni conversations, networking opportunities, and programming designed to help you prepare for life after SDSU.

Develop as a Leader
Help shape the organization, develop programming, serve on committees, and pursue elected chapter leadership positions.

Get Connected to the School of Communication
Become more involved with SOC events, programs, faculty, students, and opportunities beyond your classes.

Serve the Community
Participate in service and community engagement opportunities at SDSU and throughout San Diego.

Explore Graduate Education
Learn more about graduate education, Communication research, SDSU's M.A. in Communication, and other opportunities for continuing your education.

Connect with Communication Nationally
Official Lambda Pi Eta members can explore opportunities through NCA, including its Annual Convention, regional conferences, awards, student leadership, and other professional opportunities.

More than an honor. A community.

We want Lambda Pi Eta to be something Communication students are excited to participate in, not simply something they discover once they qualify for induction.

The Six Goals of Lambda Pi Eta

Everything we do as the SDSU Pi Beta Chapter is guided by the six goals of Lambda Pi Eta:

1. Recognize, foster, and reward outstanding scholastic achievement in Communication Studies.
2. Stimulate interest in the field of Communication.
3. Promote and encourage professional development among Communication students.
4. Provide opportunities to discuss and exchange ideas in the field of Communication.
5. Establish and maintain closer relationships between faculty and students.
6. Explore opportunities for graduate education in Communication Studies.

At SDSU, every Lambda Pi Eta event, program, service project, and initiative will support one or more of these six goals.
