ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA- 1ST GENERATION HONOR SOCIETY @ PennWest Cal CHAPTER

 Alpha Alpha Alpha (Tri-Alpha) is a national honor society for first-generation college students. The purpose of this organization is to recognize academic achievements in first-generation college students, to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to promote leadership, and to provide support networks for first-generation students within and across college chapters. PennWest Cal Chapter of Alpha Alpha Alpha is one of the few chapters in the nation. As members you will play a pivotal role in shaping this exciting new organization and will have the opportunity to assume leadership roles.  As a member, you will also receive a certificate of membership and graduation cords.
