PHI SIGMA TAU
The SC Delta chapter of Phi Sigma Tau, the national honor society for
philosophy, was installed at USC in an April 2005 ceremony that included
remarks by Karl Heider, Associate Provost and Dean of Undergraduate
Affairs, and Mary Anne Fitzpatrick, Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences.
Davis Baird, chair of the philosophy department, received the charter for
University, and philosophy professor Jerry Wallulis gave the installation
address. Ann Johnson was installed as the faculty adviser for the chapter,
which initiated a founding class of 17 undergraduate members who met the
requirements of scholarly excellence in philosophy.
Student officers were installed as follows:
- Amanda Bernard, president;
- Jason Fairbanks, vice president;
- Jonathan Hyndman, secretary; and
- Christin Verkaik, treasurer.
Phi Sigma Tau was founded in the 1940s to recognize and encourage
excellence in the study of philosophy. Phi Sigma Tau publishes a journal,
Dialogue, containing student essays in all areas of contemporary
philosophical research and also produces a newsletter three times per year
containing news of local chapter activities. USC's chapter is the 140th in
the nation.
