About Us
Welcome to Sigma Alpha Lambda Sigma Alpha Lambda is a National Leadership and Honors Organization dedicated to developing the individual and serving our 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 our 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. Our Statement of Purpose and organization

UMD Zoom Study Session

SAL members at the University of Maryland College Park did not let social distancing keep them from coming together to support one another. During these unusual times, virtual encounters have taken the place of traditional meetings and study sessions for our UMD chapter members and most others worldwide.

During a Zoom call, SAL members connected with each other by sharing their experience in quarantine thus far and collaborated in preparing for their upcoming finals. President Kaleigh Pikulsky said that “the purpose of the Zoom call was to cultivate an environment of academic accomplishment and academic support prior to our all-online finals.” Although Pikulsky stated that in-person study groups typically achieved greater results, this substitute online session was successful. We are proud of our SAL members at UMD for using innovative methods to continue to connect and support one another.
