Two history majors were inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious academic honor society, this past April.
Graduating seniors Natalie Huseby, a history major and Spanish minor from El Paso, Texas, and Arin Kemp, a history major and French and Religious Studies minor from Horn Lake, Mississippi, were among the 91 students campus-wide who were invited to join Phi Beta Kappa this year. Election to membership in Phi Beta Kappa is an honor conferred upon fewer than ten percent of each graduating class. Students do not apply for membership but are selected during the spring semester each year by the Phi Beta Kappa chapter as a whole, after a careful review of the academic records of each eligible candidate.
