The initiated students were Rebecca Buckham, Gabriella Fabish, Coty Gander, Kelly Klaas, Caitlynn Kreider, Brittany Mavrich and Maximalian Ungerman. Charissa Mikoski is the current President and Treasurer of AKD. To be eligible for membership the students demonstrated high academic performance in both their major and general college coursework.

The ceremony was followed by a dessert reception attended by initiates, parents and Sociology and Criminal Justice Studies faculty. In addition, Mr. Jeff Simmons and Ms. Wilma Oman presented a colloquium entitled "Immigration Justice: Reflections from the Borderlands." Simmons and Oman shared observations from their recent trip to the US-Mexican border, including the perils of the desert crossing, the activities of humanitarian and sanctuary programs and the impacts of the criminal justice system on immigrant families.
