The Andrews University chapter of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is proud to celebrate its 30th anniversary this spring. All past inductees and alumni are invited to attend the 2019 dinner and induction on Wednesday, April 10, at 6 p.m. in the Lincoln, Hoosier and Badger Rooms, Campus Center, Andrews University.

The evening’s program will include music by Cardinal Number, a brief history of the chapter by Douglas Jones, emeritus professor of English, and a special presentation by Ronald Tulley, Phi Kappa Phi Division IV vice president as well as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and professor of English at The University of Findlay. The dinner will also serve as the kick-off for Phi Kappa Phi’s annual book drive for the Benton Harbor schools.

Phi Kappa Phi is the oldest interdisciplinary honors society in North America and awards nearly $1 million in grants and fellowships to its members each year. Chapter 249 at Andrews University is the only Phi Kappa Phi chapter at a Seventh-day Adventist institution of higher learning. “We are pleased to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and engage our community of scholars in service to others,” says Marianne Kordas, chapter president.
