USC gerontology students have been recognized for their academic achievement and commitment to promoting scholarship, professionalism, friendship and services to older persons.
The students were honored May 12 at an installation ceremony for Sigma Phi Omega, the national academic honor and professional society in gerontology.

Each of the 14 honorees is enrolled in the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology which, in 1980, was among the first schools to start a chapter of Sigma Phi Omega. Another 47 USC students and alumni previously honored were also recognized for renewing their membership in the society.

The ceremony was led by USC chapter president Jennifer Wieckowski and Phoebe Liebig, associate professor of gerontology, who serves as the chapter faculty sponsor.

Membership is open to students who major or minor in gerontology or aging studies and related fields, are in at least their second term of enrollment and have earned a grade point average of at least 3.3 in undergraduate work or 3.5 in graduate work. Faculty, alumni, professional and honorary memberships also are available.

Inductees include Ph.D. student Adriana Julian; spring MSG graduates Izaro Elorduy Onaindia, Nicole Kraus, Ann Swanson and Mira Trufasiu; MSG student Kali Peterson; spring MAG graduates Robyn Poliner and Barbara Winard; MAG students Sandra Ferguson, Catherine Frank and Elise Levine; and BSG students Patricia Halliwell, Catherine Mei Hsin Lee and Jeanine Yonashiro.
