84 students join Phi Kappa Phi at UW–Madison

Phi Kappa Phi, Chapter 021, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has initiated 81 students and 3 honorary members into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society this year.

The 104th Phi Kappa Phi Induction Ceremony was held on April 21 in Tripp Commons; Taylor-Bascom Chair in Science Communication and Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor Dietram Scheufele was the keynote speaker; the keynote address was titled "From CRISPR to AI: Making Sense of Controversial Science in an Age of Polarized Politics."

Honorary membership was granted to three UW-Madison faculty/staff: Professor Dietram Scheufele; Liza Chang, first-year program manager for the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences; and Heather Mialik, honors program manager for the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.

Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 at the University of Maine by a group of students who felt a need for an honor society that would recognize excellence across the whole range of academic disciplines. Today, Phi Kappa Phi recognizes and promotes academic excellence in all fields of higher education and engages the community of scholars in service to others.

Phi Kappa Phi recognizes the achievements of the most outstanding students in every school and college at UW-Madison. The UW-Madison chapter of Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1920 and has had a continuous presence on this campus ever since. Each fall invitations are sent to the top 10 percent of graduate students, the top 10 percent of seniors and the top 7.5 percent of second-semester juniors in each school and college.
