The University of Rochester welcomes 118 seniors and 18 juniors as 2023 inductees into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. They’ll join 16 current seniors who were elected as juniors last spring.
An initiation ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, May 11 at 3:30 p.m. in Strong Auditorium.
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.
