Tau Sigma Delta National Honor Society is the only honor society recognized in the fields of architecture and the allied arts, which includes landscape architecture and community and regional planning.
Nathania Tsosie, who earned her undergraduate degree in anthropology from UNM, is pursuing a master of community and regional planning. Tsosie is the daughter of Nathan and Laura Tsosie of Piñon, Ariz.
Tsosie currently works for the Masters in Public Health Program at the UNM School of Medicine. Her interest in public health is a motivating force.
“I am interested in working in public health, particularly in tribal communities where infrastructure for basics such as plumbing and roads is lacking,” she said. Tsosie said she is considering launching her own public health research and consulting firm following graduation.
Tau Sigma Delta, founded in 1913 at the University of Michigan, is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, giving Tau Sigma Delta the high rating of most distinguished honor societies in other educational fields.
Inducted students, who are nominated by the director of their respective programs, are in the top 20 percent of their class.
