On September 2nd 2010, the women of the Athena Chapter at Stephens College, Columbia, MO., inducted President Dianne Lynch in Mortar Board at the new school year’s Opening Convocation. Athena Chapter President Lainey Hughes described Dr. Lynch as “the role model so many students have been denied throughout their lives“. Hughes went on to say that Dr. Lynch was not just a leader, “she is an ally, a teacher, a friend, an intellectual, and an inspiration“.
Dr. Lynch was tapped and initiated into Mortar Board by Co-Vice President Laura Kline. Dr. Lynch expressed her pride at being tapped into Mortar Board as “an honor”.
