The Alpha Delta Service and Leadership Awards were created in 2003. The name is based on the Greek words Archaein (are-cain) or “to lead” and Diakonein (dee-ak-o-nane) or “to serve”—extremely appropriate for our servant leadership approach to these activities. These awards recognize all students who have excelled in service and leadership during their tenure at HNU.
