Description: The Voice of the Adult Student – ASL Alpha Chi: Celebrating 50 Years of Academic Excellence is a digital exhibit tracing the first years of Alpha Chi, the 45th Chapter of the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society for Non-Traditional and Adult students at Pitt. The exhibit showcases photos, newspaper clippings, and archival documents chronicling events through the 1970s, with special emphasis on the period between 1971-1975.
