The Department of Political Science is pleased to announce that students Owen Brady and Alexandra Mannix have been offered membership in Phi Beta Kappa this year!
Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest academic honor society and has more than 500,000 members. Phi Beta Kappa celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Its campus chapters invite for induction the most outstanding arts and sciences students at America’s leading colleges and universities. The society sponsors activities to advance these studies — the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences — in higher education and in society at large.
Phi Beta Kappa stands for freedom of inquiry and expression, disciplinary rigor, breadth of intellectual perspective, the cultivation of skills of deliberation and ethical reflection, the pursuit of wisdom, and the application of the fruits of scholarship and research in practical life.
Congratulations Owen and Alexandra!
