LEXINGTON, Va. — Two local students were initiated in November into Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society.
They are Emily Winter of Fayette, a student at the University of Kentucky; and Hope Hutchinson of Greene, a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Initiated students must be sophomores, juniors, seniors, or graduate/professional students in the top 35 percent of their class, demonstrate leadership experience in at least one of the five pillars, and embrace the ODK ideals.
Fewer than five percent of students on a campus are invited to join each year.
