Kara Miller of Centerburg, Ohio, Named President of Sigma Alpha Lambda

2012 Sep 19

Kara Miller of Centerburg, Ohio, a student at Youngstown State University, has been elected President of Sigma Alpha Lambda national leadership and honors organization. Miller also is the recipient of the Path to Excellence Award.

Sigma Alpha Lambda is dedicated to developing the individual and serving the campus and community. The mission of Sigma Alpha Lambda is to recognize members for academic achievement, to engage members in service, and to develop members for leadership. Service is the foundation of SAL’s leadership development model as well as the leadership of the organization itself. Through service, individuals look outside themselves and lives are changed, not only for the one being served but even more so for the one serving. As a result of this process, the individual learns more about who they really are and what they value.
