June 28, 2007
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) – Faculty members at UC Santa Barbara have inducted 110 high-achieving seniors into the UCSB chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest honorary academic society. Earning special honors were Natalie Suzanne Hohmann, of Buellton; Catherine Michelle Miserany, of Oceanside; and Julia Ann Sterling, of San Rafael. Hohmann, a molecular, cellular and developmental biology major, was awarded the Katherine Esau Phi Beta Kappa Honor Key. Named in memory of a distinguished UCSB professor of botany, the award is given to a student whose academic achievement, breadth of program, and seriousness of purpose in the pursuit of excellence best represent the ideals of the society. Miserany received the William Frost Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Key, given to an English major who is judged to have demonstrated the highest level of excellence consistent with the ideals of Phi Beta Kappa. The award was established to honor the late UCSB English professor for his contributions to improving the quality of a liberal arts education. Julia Ann Sterling, an English and global studies major, received the Lawrence Wilson Phi Beta Kappa Honor Key, which is given to a Regents Scholar who best represents the ideals of Phi Beta Kappa. The award is named in memory of the UCSB English professor who founded the campus chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1776 and currently includes more than 500,000 members.
