2016 May 11

The Assumption College Department of Philosophy has announced that Kayley Millard was inducted into the International Philosophy Honor Society Phi Sigma Tau on Friday, April 8.

"The Philosophy faculty are proud to welcome this year's inductees into Phi Sigma Tau, the international honor society in philosophy," said Patrick Corrigan, Ph.D., associate professor of philosophy and the honor society's advisor. "They have merited this honor by their academic excellence, their wide love of learning, and their desire to share their enthusiasm for discovery with others. They carry forward Assumption's highest traditions."

Phi Sigma Tau was founded at Muhlenberg College in 1930. Its essential purpose was, and is, to promote ties among philosophy departments in accredited institutions and students in philosophy. Both on the local and national levels, Phi Sigma Tau considers its organization a means for developing and honoring academic excellence as well as philosophical interest. In addition to providing a means of awarding distinction to students having high scholarship and interest in philosophy, the Society also promotes interest in philosophy among the general collegiate public.

To be inducted into Phi Sigma Tau, students at Assumption must successfully complete at least three courses in philosophy, and demonstrated interest in philosophy beyond the classroom.
