Christina Sickinger Elected to Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society

2017 Dec 11

Christina Sickinger was elected to the Connecticut Gamma Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society during an initiation ceremony on Dec. 6.

Sickinger is a senior majoring in Economics and German Studies.

To be elected, a student must first have been nominated by the department of his or her major. He or she also must have demonstrated curricular breadth by having met the General Education Expectations and must have achieved a GPA of 93 and above. During the ceremony, Gamma Chapter PBK President Steven Horst, professor of philosophy, professor of science in society, said this class has a 94.4 GPA and above.

"For students elected this fall, it is an especially exacting selection process because admission is based on a student's performance at Wesleyan only through their junior year," Horst said. "These new members' accomplishments during their years at Wesleyan should be a source of pride for themselves and to their families."

"You have worked hard to get to this point and it is our hope that as you move into your future, you will continue to employ the work habits and ethics that have served you well thus far," Horst said.
