Background

The idea for a National Human Services Honor Society originated from discussions held during the NOHS Conference in East Brunswick, New Jersey. In November 2006, the NOHS Board of Directors approved the establishment of a National Honor Society. In order to launch the Society, volunteers formed a Development Committee to craft bylaws and other procedures. The team mirrored the breadth and diversity of human services because it included students, faculty, administrators, and practitioners, with representation from all NOHS regions. The breadth and diversity of the team resulted in a comprehensive effort. Members focused on the creation of an honor society that would support its mission - to honor academic excellence; to foster lifelong learning, leadership and development; and to promote excellence in service to humanity.

Meaning

The emblem symbolizes the efforts of Human Services Professionals in their work to empower people through education and service.

The circle surrounding the figures in the center of the emblem indicates the focus that Human Service professionals place on attending to the needs of the whole person and the communities in which that person interacts. The figures within the circle, in varying sizes and colors, indicate the work done with diverse populations.

The dominant colors are Royal Blue (intelligence, stability, and unity), White (purity of thought and goodness), and Gold (wisdom).

The three Greek letters are an expression of the ideals of Human Services. Tau meaning life, Upsilon meaning foundation for everything that comes, and Alpha meaning first.

Together, these symbols indicate our desire for excellence in our profession of Human Services.
