The S.C. Delta chapter of Phi Sigma Tau, the national honor society for philosophy, was installed at USC in an April ceremony that included remarks by Karl Heider, associate provost and dean of undergraduate affairs, and Mary Anne Fitzpatrick, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Davis Baird, chair of the philosophy department, received the charter for University, and philosophy professor Jerry Wallulis gave the installation address. Ann Johnson was installed as the faculty adviser for the chapter, which initiated a founding class of 17 undergraduate members who met the requirements of scholarly excellence in philosophy.
Student officers were installed as follows: Amanda Bernard, president; Jason Fairbanks, vice president; Jonathan Hyndman, secretary; and Christin Verkaik, treasurer. Phi Sigma Tau was founded in the 1940s to recognize and encourage excellence in the study of philosophy. USC's chapter is the 140th in the nation.
