Lisa Ruch, chapter advisor of Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD) and Phi Eta Sigma (PES) honor society at IUPUI, has recently been recognized by having a scholarship from PES named in her honor. Ruch joined the IUPUI community in 1985 as an academic advisor and has been actively working with students ever since. She took over as the chapter advisor of ALDPES in 1998. Along with her work at IUPUI, Ruch served on the national board of ALD for 13 years and is currently serving on the national board of PES.
Ruch said that she found taking on the advisor role at IUPUI to be so valuable due to the relationships that she was able to build with the students she advised and fostering those relationships that students in ALDPES found through the organization.
