A message on behalf of Dr. Vinet, The Provost

Phi Beta Kappa, an undergraduate honours organization, has approached the University to invite us to set up a chapter on campus. If successful, McGill would have the first chapter in Canada.

At this point in time, serious consideration is being given to this invitation and we would like to assess the number of faculty who might already be members of this society.

If you are a member of Phi Betta Kappa, could you kindly inform Sherry Romanado, Agenda and Events Coordinator, Office of the Principal, at sherry.romanado@mcgill.ca or 398-3329.
