| A Message from the President: Welcome to the UMass Boston Alpha Lambda Delta website. It is our aspiration to grow our relatively new chapter. To achieve this mission it is my pleasure to announce our new Community Development and Outreach Chair Aram Pashaian. Another important element to achieve growth is this web site. Here we will post information hopefully of use to members, as well as students aspiring to join. This site will provide a place to feature the continuing outstanding achievements of our members. If you have any ideas for this site please do not hesitate to e-mail me at michael.metzger001@students.umb.edu. A special section will be added soon for induction 2005, so be sure to check back soon!
