New members will be inducted into the society, graduates will be recognized and the Dorthea Powers Scholarship will be awarded. Membership is by invitation only to the top 10 percent of seniors and graduate students and the top 7.5 percent of juniors with at least 75 units.
Department chairs, academic advisors, staff and faculty, family members and friends are encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will follow the ceremony.
Founded in 1897, the Society’s mission is to “recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.” Phi Kappa Phi has chapters on nearly 300 select college and university campuses in North America and the Philippines.
The Society has initiated more than 1 million members, including former President Jimmy Carter, writer John Grisham, NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence and Netscape founder James Barksdale.
