Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar


The Phi Beta Kappa Society sponsors a Visiting Scholar Program. The purpose of the program is to contribute to the intellectual life of the host campus by making possible an exchange of ideas between the Visiting Scholar and the resident faculty and students. Each year 13-14 distinguished scholars visit over 100 colleges and universities for two days. The scholars meet informally with students and faculty members, take part in classroom discussion, and give a public lecture open to the entire academic community. The Delta chapter hosts a visiting scholar every other year.
