The Cultural and Societal Honor Society is a departmental honor society that was created in the Spring of 2010 to benefit Sociology/Anthropology students at Truman State University.

Our mission is to present hands on opportunities within the field, allow members to connect with other people in the major, and to serve as a place of support as well as a source of information and guidance for students within the department. The Society emphasizes the importance of knowledge and understanding of local, national, and international communities in order to learn more about ourselves and the world around us.

AKD stands for Alpha Kappa Delta, an international society of scholars dedicated to the ideal of Athropon Katamannthanein Diakonesin, or “to investigate humanity for the purpose of service.”  AKD seeks to acknowledge and promote excellence in scholarship in the study of sociology, the research of social problems, and such other social and intellectual activities as will lead to improvement in the human condition.

Educational Philosophy

The Bike Co-op workshop is a place on the Truman campus where people of the community are invited to come and learn how to fix their bikes under the guidance of a trained mechanic. While a membership is required to aid in financing our operation, ensure based-line training on shop tools, and to enforce the membership contract, services are free and education is paramount. The Bike Co-op strives to fill an important niche in the Kirksville community by providing access to tools necessary to maintain bikes, affordable, high quality parts, and training in bike mechanics. The Co-op is both a resource and a service, creating a bridge between the University community and the greater Kirksville community in which it resides.
