Fifty students elected to Phi Beta Kappa

The Phi Beta Kappa prize, given to a graduating senior “whose scholarly or artistic accomplishment and breadth, and contribution to the intellectual life of the community, best exemplify the society’s regard for intellectual excellence,” was awarded to Hoang Minh Hieu Nguyen, a neuroscience major from Di Linh, Vietnam, who was also recently awarded the Gates-Cambridge Scholarship.

Each year the Middlebury chapter elects up to 10 percent of the senior class to Phi Beta Kappa membership. Two percent of the class is elected in August, on the basis of six semesters’ work, and up to an additional 8 percent is elected in May, on the basis of work completed over eight semesters.
