Tau Upsilon Alpha
National Organization for Human Services Honor Society
TUA’s Mission:
The mission of Tau Upsilon Alpha National Organization for Human Services Honor Society is to honor academic excellence; to foster lifelong learning, leadership and development; and to promote excellence in service to humanity.
About TUA:
The idea for a National Human Services Honor Society originated from discussions held during the NOHS Conference in East Brunswick, New Jersey. In November 2006, the NOHS Board of Directors approved the establishment of a National Honor Society. In order to launch the Society, volunteers formed a Development Committee to craft bylaws and other procedures. The team mirrored the breadth and diversity of human services because it included students, faculty, administrators, and practitioners, with representation from all NOHS regions. The breadth and diversity of the team resulted in a comprehensive effort. Members focused on the creation of an honor society that would support its mission – to honor academic excellence; to foster life long learning, leadership and development; and to promote excellence in service to humanity.
