STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擳he Gamma of Mississippi Chapter of The Phi Beta Kappa Society at 无码专区 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 无码专区鈥檚 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.
