| Abstract: | From a systems standpoint, Lambda Pi Eta is an influential subsystem within the Communication discipline. The input–throughput–output teaching-learning dialectic arguably achieves maximum potential at the point where the student is positioned. The evolution of the Arkansas Alpha LPH chapter into an accredited national honor society, documented in the words of the founding student and professor, illustrate key concepts of systems thinking, sense-making, and “learning organizations.” Envisioning the student-scholar, the honor society, NCA and its institutional members, and their interconnected partners as a transformative “super-system” fosters appreciation of the active role students play in networked realms of 21st century communication and education. |
