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:

Roger Lee Mendoza (California State University, Los Angeles) has been named the 2026 recipient of the John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Faculty Award by the Haynes Foundation. Granted through a rigorous juried competition, this centennial award comes with a $17,600 grant for Dr. Mendoza’s pioneering research project on AI’s practical applications in improving access to care and health equity in safety-net clinics of LA’s five counties.

Sandra Scott (Mercer University) was one of only three Mercer University graduates selected to receive the prestigious James T. McAfee, Jr. Endowed Vision and Leadership Scholarship. The scholarship recognizes outstanding leadership, academic achievement, and service among students across Mercer University. 

Ronald Shaklee (Youngstown State University) was a recipient of the 2026 Youngstown State University Heritage Award. This award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the university throughout their academic careers.
