Phi Lambda Beta
The Sigma chapter of Phi Lambda Beta National Collegiate Portuguese Honor Society was chartered at Rhode Island College in 2012. The society strives to stimulate greater interest in the advanced study of the Portuguese language and Luso-Afro-Brazilian cultures and literatures; reward outstanding achievement in the field; and strengthen ties between Portuguese college and university faculty members, their students, and the AATSP (American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese).
