MH residents inducted into Phi Kappa Phi
Morgan Hill residents Margaret Powell, Valerie Valle and Yocelin Avendano Lopez were initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. Collin Moosman, of San Martin, was also initiated into Phi Kappa Phi. All four locals are students of San Jose State University.
They are among approximately 25,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year, according to a press release. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter.
Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the Society has chapters on more than 325 campuses in the United States, its territories and the Philippines. Its mission is “To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others,” says the press release.
