The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi

The spring 2009 edition of Phi Kappa Phi Forum, entitled “Starting with Beginnings,” won a 2009 Apex Award for Publication Excellence for Magazine & Journal Writing.

“The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is thrilled that the continued efforts to transform Phi Kappa Phi Forum into a multidisciplinary quarterly that enlightens, challenges and entertains its smart, diverse, lay readers are being recognized,” said Editor Peter Szatmary. “We appreciate the expertise, passion, diligence and cooperation from all the contributors who helped make the edition so memorable. And, on a personal note, I’m doubly pleased since the spring 2009 edition was the first under my stewardship.”

The publication, which doubles as a general-interest reader as well as a platform for the Society, devoted the spring 2009 edition to various types of formations from evolutionism to dance.
