Phi Kappa Phi Academic Hall of Fame
Founded in 1897, the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest, largest and most selective, all-discipline honor society. FKF’s mission statement reads: To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to encourage the community of scholars in service to others. The Bradley University chapter of FKF was founded in 1963 with chemistry Professors Thomas F. Cummings, Mark C. Paulson, H. John Sathoff, John H. Shroyer and Bhagat Singh among the charter members. In 1977, the chapter established the Bradley University Academic Hall of Fame. Each year the chapter selects up to five academically exceptional seniors from those students nominated by their academic department for membership in the Hall of Fame. The requirements of induction are a minimum of 60 hours in residence and a GPA of 3.75. Recipients are selected on the basis of their genuine love of learning as well as their academic records, extra-curricular activities and independent studies. The chemistry and biochemistry majors named below have been elected to the Academic Hall of Fame.
