Brandeis Phi Beta Kappa chapter elects 89 new members

The Brandeis University chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society has announced the election of 89 new members this year.

Founded at the College of William and Mary in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honor society in the country. Selection for membership is based on the quality of the candidates’ academic record and the breadth of their scholarly interests beyond their concentration.

“These newest inductees represent not just great academic achievement, but a desire to reach beyond their areas of studies to make broad connections across areas and topics,” said professor Wendy Cadge, senior associate dean for strategic initiatives and president of the Brandeis Phi Beta Kappa chapter. “It’s my privilege to welcome them to Phi Beta Kappa.”

Of the honorees, 80 are members of the Class of 2020, and nine are in the Class of 2021. An additional nine students in the Class of 2020 were inducted as juniors last year.

The inductees will be celebrated in a virtual ceremony on May 26 at 10 a.m.
