The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi's international community is a unique blend of students, academicians and corporate and civic leaders from all fields of endeavor. Membership in Phi Kappa Phi recognizes and rewards academic success. That recognition doesn’t end after initiation. From their time in school to their professional career, Society members’ hard work continues to pay off and be acknowledged.

Phi Kappa Phi would like to congratulate these members on their recent achievements:

Henry Feldhaus (Middle Tennessee State University) was awarded the Bob Kirk Local Government Leadership Award. The award is presented to a council member, alderman, or commissioner who is at least in their second term of service to their municipality and has shown themselves to be an outstanding public servant to both their municipality and their community.

Jacqueline Hibbard (The University of Mississippi) received a Fulbright Scholarship. The scholarship is granted to students and professionals who demonstrate strong academic achievement, leadership potential and a commitment to fostering cross-cultural understanding through research, teaching or study abroad.

Philip Phillips (Middle Tennessee State University) received the university’s highest faculty honor—the 2025 Career Achievement Award. The award recognized Phillips’ decades-long dedication to education, mentorship, and service.

Robert Bruno (Fordham University) was named a New York Top Dentist for 2024. The recognition is a merit-based distinction for dental professionals who demonstrate excellence in clinical care, uphold the highest standards of ethics and expertise, and distinguish themselves through their credentials, continuing education and commitment to patient-centered practice.

Russell Ivy (Florida Atlantic University) received the 2025 Michael P. Malone International Leadership Award from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. This national honor recognizes individuals who have made outstanding lifetime contributions to advancing international education at public universities.

Marco Notarainni (Boise State University) has been named to the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List. The award is presented annually to the Football Bowl Subdivision player who best combines exemplary community service with leadership achievement on and off the field.

Marina Serra (Mercer University) received two prestigious honors: the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Professional Licensure Scholarship and the Tau Beta Pi Scholarship. The NCEES scholarship is awarded annually to top engineering students pursuing licensure as professional engineers. The Tau Beta Pi scholarship recognizes students for exceptional scholarship, character and commitment to service.
