June 11, 2004
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) Faculty members at the University of California, Santa Barbara have inducted 89 high-achieving seniors into the UCSB chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest honorary academic society. Earning special honors were Anna Lorraine Reade of Ridgecrest, Michael Charles Raisch of Goleta, and Kristin Marie Jordan of Burbank. Reade, a biochemistry and molecular biology major, was awarded the Katherine Esau Phi Beta Kappa Honor Key. The award is given in memory of Esau, a longtime UCSB professor of biology (1963-97), to a student whose academic achievement, breadth of program, and seriousness of purpose best represents the ideals of Phi Beta Kappa. Raisch's award was the William Frost Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Key, given to an English major who has demonstrated the highest level of academic excellence. It is given in memory of Frost, who taught in UCSB's Department of English from 1951 to 1988, for his contributions to improving the quality of a liberal arts education. Raisch also majored in biology while at UCSB. Jordan, a sociology major, earned the Lawrence Wilson Phi Beta Kappa Honor Key, given in honor of Wilson, a professor of English at UCSB from 1947 to 1983 and founder of the UCSB Phi Beta Kappa chapter. The key is given to a Regents Scholar who best represents the overall ideals of the society. Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1776 and currently includes more than 500,000 members.
