The College of Journalism & Mass Communications would like to congratulate Marcella Mercer and Allison Peterson on their inductions into the Innocents Society and Mortar Board.
Mercer, a junior journalism student, was inducted into the Innocents Society. The Innocents Society inducts 13 new members each spring, with selection based on leadership, scholarship and service to the university and greater community. The Innocents Society was founded in 1903 to promote the spirit of the university and is the chancellor's senior honorary. It is not affiliated with any national organization.
Peterson, a junior ADPR student, was one of 28 new members selected for the Mortar Board. New members of Mortar Board are tapped into the Black Masque Chapter each spring by Mortar Boarders wearing black masks and robes. The new members were selected on the basis of outstanding scholarship, leadership and service to the university and community.
