Three Students Win $1,000 Travel Awards

Three University of Arkansas students have been awarded $1,000 travel-abroad grants from the Phi Kappa Phi honor society. They were among 50 winners nationally.

The three students are Misti D. Clark from Wesley, Laura R. Sossamon from Ozark, both rising juniors from the Dale Bumpers College Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences; and Davis M. Stephen of Fayetteville, a freshman in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. All three are planning to go to Belize this summer.

Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest, largest and one of the most selective honor societies for all academic disciplines. Since its founding, Phi Kappa Phi has initiated more than 1 million members into its ranks. Its chapters are on nearly 300 campuses in the United States, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. Each year, approximately 30,000 new members are initiated. This year the University of Arkansas chapter initiated 200 members at a ceremony on April 20.
