On March 25, 28 McDaniel College seniors and three juniors were inducted into the Delta of Maryland Chapter of the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society. Founded in 1776, The Phi Beta Kappa Society is the nation’s oldest academic honor society. It has chapters at 283 colleges and universities in the United States and more than half a million members throughout the country.

Team PChem — Physics major Dimitri Lezcano and Chem major Kathalyn Urquizo — snatched first place in the second annual Estimathon that saw science, Math and two Business Administration majors dipping deep into their information wells and mustering every ounce of their skills in logic to answer 13 questions.
Art History professor Gretchen McKay marked a milestone in early March when she introduced her “Art in Paris” Reacting to the Past game to her Experiencing History class — it was the first time she’s introduced the game to a class with published books in hand.

Nathan Wuertenberg, a 2012 McDaniel alumnus and doctoral candidate at The George Washington University, recently edited and contributed to “Demand the Impossible: Essays in History as Activism,” a book of essays on historical topics that lend context and encourage new approaches to issues facing the U.S. and world today.
Most of McDaniel’s Social Work majors have entered the field to work with people not policies. Still, professor Jim Kunz knows that policy informs practice — just as practice informs policy — and so he takes the seniors, in small groups, to Annapolis on Monday evenings to see the legislature in action and to learn how to use their real world experience to influence those policies.
