It functions as both an honor society and a service organization encouraging members to participate in civic engagement activities. The honor society produces a biennial publication, *The Scalpel*, and provides opportunities for members to attend an annual convention and compete for scholarships. Manhattan University established its chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta in 2017. ### Eligibility To qualify for membership, undergraduates must have: - at least a 3.2 GPA in math and science courses - at least a 3.2 overall GPA in all courses [Explore Kakos School of Arts and Sciences">**Explore Kakos School of Arts and Sciences**](/academics/kakos) ### Moderator Dr. Caitlin O'Brien [718-862-7836](tel:718-862-7836)
