The ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é welcomes 114 seniors and 16 juniors as 2022 inductees into the honor society. They’ll join 18 current seniors who were elected as juniors last spring.

An initiation ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, May 12 at 3:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Larry and Cindy Bloch Alumni and Advancement Center, 300 East River Road.

Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest academic honor society. Membership is by invitation only, and students are chosen by faculty members who also are members of the society. Particularly strong candidates are selected as juniors.

The University’s Phi Beta Kappa chapter, Iota of New York, was founded in 1887.

Here are the University’s newest Phi Beta Kappa members.
