National Communication Honors Society
Lambda Pi Eta was founded in 1985 at the University of Arkansas. The National Communication Association established LPH as an affiliate organization and the official national communication honor society for undergraduates in 1995. In February 1996, Lambda Pi Eta was certified by the Association of College Honor Societies. Now, there are nearly 500 chapters worldwide. Our chapter at UofSC Aiken, the Nu Rho Chapter, was established in 2001 by Dr. Charmaine Wilson at the urging of student Jason J. Hancock.
To be invited for membership, students must have earned at least 60 hours and have a GPA of at least 3.0. In addition, students must have completed at least 12 hours in communication and have earned at least a 3.25 in those classes.

Media Club
Media club presents students with an opportunity to experience production, discuss the more technical side of content they consume every day, an outlet to create, and the ability to form bonds with students of similar interests. These options include podcasts, video, and photography. Students will also be able to consume and discuss media together. Social events such as shared viewings, guest speakers, and media tours are also offered to students. For more information, see Dr. David L.

Each section of Public Speaking (COMM 241) will send two representatives, selected by the professor and/or student votes from that section, to compete. The speech should be persuasive and focus on a policy change. Students must also prepare an outline to be submitted, alongside the 7-10 minute speech.
