Three ¾¨Ó㴫ý students will be inducted into Alpha Kappa Delta, the international sociology honor society, Wednesday, April 7, in the Witherspoon Rooms of the McKelvey Campus Center.
Alan Baldwin, a junior sociology major, is a son of Jacqueline Baldwin of Olanta and a graduate of Clearfield Area High School.
Emileigh Drylie, a senior elementary education and intercultural studies major, is a daughter of Robert and Deanna Drylie of Oakmont and a graduate of Riverview High School.
Brett Glavey, a junior sociology major, is a son of Richard and Jeanne Glavey of Sharpsville and a graduate of Sharpsville High School.
The evening's speaker is Wendy Parker, a Ph.D. candidate at Syracuse University, who will speak on "Trajectories of Children's Health: Inequality and the Impact of Parental Resources." Her talk is scheduled for 7 p.m., following the induction banquet. The program is free and open to the public.
Parker's project builds on a body of research that demonstrates the childhood origins of adult health disparities and links early-life resources parents provide to their children to their physical health trajectories during childhood.
