Rice students elected to Phi Beta Kappa

FROM RICE NEWS STAFF REPORTS

Seventy-three Rice University students have been elected members-in-course by the Beta of Texas Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

Election to Phi Beta Kappa is an honor recognizing outstanding achievement in the liberal arts and sciences. To be considered for membership, a student at Rice must have completed at least 90 semester hours in courses that reflect the pursuit of learning for its own sake, rather than a focus on the development of particular professional skills. As an additional indication of intellectual breadth, at least 10 of these qualifying courses must be chosen from outside the division in which the student’s major lies.

The Class of 2009 Phi Beta Kappa inductees from Rice are:
