Phi Kappa Phi Chapter 021 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison welcomed a total of 81 students and 3 honorary members into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society this year. The 104th Phi Kappa Phi Induction Ceremony, featuring a keynote address by Professor Dietram Scheufele, was held on April 21 in Tripp Commons.

In addition to the student inductees, three distinguished individuals from UW–Madison were granted honorary membership in the society. These include Professor Dietram Scheufele, Liza Chang, and Heather Mialik, who have made significant contributions to their respective fields within the university.

Phi Kappa Phi, established in 1897 at the University of Maine, was created to recognize excellence across various academic disciplines, a mission it continues to uphold to this day. The honor society aims to promote academic excellence and engage scholars in service to others.

The UW–Madison chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, founded in 1920, has maintained a continuous presence on the campus for over a century. Each year, the society extends invitations to the top-performing graduate students, seniors, and juniors from every school and college at the university.

Among the notable inductees this year are students from diverse locations such as Michigan, Illinois, China, South Korea, and India. The list includes individuals like Jack Behrendt, Laura Bruhn, Tiantian Cai, Ellen Herrald, and many others who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievements.

Phi Kappa Phi's recognition of these exceptional students serves to highlight the commitment to academic excellence and scholarly achievement at UW–Madison. The society's ongoing dedication to fostering a community of scholars who excel in their respective disciplines continues to be a cornerstone of the university's academic culture.
