Phi Beta Delta
Phi Beta Delta, founded at California State University, Long Beach in 1986, was established as a national organization in 1987 with 38 chartered chapters. It is the first national honor society dedicated to recognizing scholarly achievement in international education. As of May of 2005, 154 chapters have been chartered.
The goals of the Society are:
- To recognize the scholarly achievement of international students and scholars, U.S. students who have studied abroad and faculty and staff who are involved in international activities
- To serve as a vehicle for the development of academic-based international programming
- To provide a network on each campus of faculty, staff and students involved in international endeavors
- To extend this network to thousands of members in chapters across the country and throughout the world
Currently Phi Beta Delta meetings are being held the 1st and 3rd mondays of every month in SH 102
