The VIRGINIA ALPHA CHAPTER of Sigma Theta Mu, the International Professional Systems Honor Society at Old Dominion University, is open to graduate students enrolled in the Master of System Engineering program. Membership in the chapter is by invitation only. The chapter was founded in January 2016.

To be elected to membership, the student must have shown both exceptional academic achievement and excellent character. Superior character is defined by the student’s leadership, professionalism, integrity, and other demonstrated principles that define the core values of System Engineers.

Twice a year, the faculty of the Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Department at Old Dominion University evaluate students’ performance and send invitation to qualified students.
