Alpha Upsilon Alpha, the honor society of the International
Reading Association, was created in 1985 to recognize and
encourage scholarship, the development of personal and professional
leadership, and service to the field of reading at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels.
The Greek letters chosen for this honor society are significant: They
come from the words Anagnosis (reading), Upotrophia
(scholarship), and Archon (leadership). The society motto,
which is attributed to Horace, says it all: “Lege sapere aude,”
or “Read, dare to be wise.”
Membership in Alpha Upsilon Alpha brings a sense of scholarly
accomplishment in the field of reading and language arts. Members are
acknowledged for having excelled in their chosen field of study, and
are recognized as professionals committed to the importance of reading
and language arts in education.
The Reading and Language Arts Department at CCSU is proud to sponsor
the Beta Kappa Chapter of Alpha Upsilon Alpha established in the
spring 2005 with the installation of its charter officers and members.
We look forward to growing stronger as an organization that
fosters leadership, professional development and service to the
community.
