On March 17, the Xi of Virginia chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was installed at James Madison University.

The chapter installation ceremony was part of the annual James Madison Week.

John Churchill, the national secretary of Phi Beta Kappa, spoke at the installation on the importance of the liberal arts and sciences. In his address to the first class of inductees, Churchill reflected on how Phi Beta Kappa has affected his life, and the lives of other inductees, over the years. 

James Madison University President Linwood H. Rose believes that having a Phi Beta Kappa chapter is a reflection of the excellence of the JMU community. “Selection by Phi Beta Kappa signifies a broader awareness of the quality of our faculty while also recognizing the scholarly capability of a bright and talented student body,” he said.
