Chloe Goode, a sophomore from Henrico, is the first recipient of the Dr. Tinina Q. Cade Scholarship. “I am extremely grateful to be a recipient of this scholarship,” Goode said. “This honor only further drives home the reason I chose this school, the amount of support that is offered to advance personal, professional, and academic enrichment. This scholarship will help bridge the financial gap between me being able to take advantage of those opportunities for development.”

The goal of the anthropology and sociology honors programs is to allow students with superior interests and talents to explore these fields, personal intellectual interests, and themes beyond the limits of typical courses.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology also offers students the opportunity to join two honor societies. Alpha Kappa Delta seeks to acknowledge and promote excellence in the scholarship and study of sociology, the research of social problems, and other social and intellectual activities that will lead to improvement in the human condition. Lambda Alpha supports scholarship and research by acknowledging and honoring superior achievement in the discipline among students engaged in the study of anthropology.
