Assumption College’s Department of Economics, Finance, and International Business has announced that Zigmond Kuczynski, of Tamaqua, has become a member of Omicron Delta Epsilon, the International Honor Society for those who study economics.

“We are pleased to welcome Zigmond as a new member of Assumption’s chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon,” said Colleen Fahy, Ph.D., professor of economics and the honor society’s adviser. “At Assumption, as a part of the Grenon School of Business, economics majors engage with the foundations of a liberal arts education to develop strong written and effective communication skills as well as the ability to think critically and quantitatively. Zigmond has demonstrated a passion for rigorous inquiry and analysis, a skill necessary to succeed in this field.”

To qualify as a member of Omicron Delta Epsilon, students must be an economics major and carry at least a 3.0 grade-point average in both the major and in his or her overall studies.
