Emily Gauthier, the daughter of Beverly and Loren Gauthier of Canton, was selected for induction into the Saint Michael's College chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma, the National Catholic Honor Society.

Gauthier was inducted into DES in ceremonies held Sept. 24 on the campus of Saint Michael's, a top-ranked Phi Beta Kappa institution, where students are engaged in experiential and research learning in and out of the classroom.

Gauthier, a senior Spanish major, graduated from Hugh C. Williams High School before coming to Saint Michael's, a residential Catholic college located in Burlington, Vt., one of the top 10 college towns in the country.

Delta Epsilon Sigma is a national scholastic honor society for students, faculty, and alumni of colleges and universities with a Catholic tradition.

It was founded in 1939 to recognize academic accomplishments, to foster scholarly activities, and to encourage a sense of intellectual community among its members.

National recognition is accorded through the college or university chapter.

Over one hundred colleges and universities have received charters to establish chapters of Delta Epsilon Sigma.
