ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (June 13, 2024) — Forty-six students at Augustana College recently were inducted into the college's Phi Beta Kappa chapter. This national academic honor society recognizes scholarly achievement, character, integrity, and independence of mind. Members are elected by faculty. Election is less a reward for past success than a recognition of exceptional promise for future growth and achievement.

Students honored at the induction ceremony include:
