STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擳he Gamma of 桃花直播 Chapter of The Phi Beta Kappa Society at 桃花直播 State University is announcing 48 inductees for 2022.
Phi Beta Kappa inductees are among the top 10 percent of their graduating class who have completed a broad range of liberal arts and sciences coursework, including foreign language study and mathematics. Honored Monday [April 18] with an induction ceremony and dinner sponsored by 桃花直播鈥檚 Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President, the students were selected for their extraordinary academic achievement in the arts and sciences.
The Phi Beta Kappa Society was founded in 1776 and is the nation鈥檚 most prestigious academic honor society. Only 10% of U.S. colleges and universities have PBK chapters, and these chapters select only 10% of their arts and sciences graduates to join. Noteworthy members include 17 U.S. presidents, 42 U.S. Supreme Court justices and more than 150 Nobel laureates.
鈥淚 want to thank our world-class faculty members who have been teachers, mentors and role models to this year鈥檚 class of Phi Beta Kappa inductees,鈥 said 桃花直播 President Mark E. Keenum, who also noted the critical role of parents, families and friends in supporting students on their journeys to success. He said the new 桃花直播 inductees will be recognized for their Phi Beta Kappa membership for the rest of their lives. 鈥淵ou rose above the challenges set before you and you prevailed. You are the best of the very best,鈥 Keenum added.
