Phi Beta Kappa (ΦΒΚ) is the oldest and most prestigious academic honors society in the United States. It encourages intellectual distinction among undergraduates by recognizing “outstanding academic accomplishment in the course of a broad liberal education.”
The Classics Department is pleased to announce that four more concentrators (class of 2020) have been elected to the Rhode Island Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa!
- Peter Cho
- Victoria Lansing
- JP Mayer
- John O'Donnell
The Rhode Island Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was founded at Brown University in 1830. Eligible students can be considered for election as seniors as long as they have competed twenty-eight over seven semesters at Brown. Students must also receive at least twenty-three A’s or S’s with distinction in these courses, with 40% of the courses being in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and/or pure mathematics.
Congratulations to Peter, Victoria, JP, and John!
