During the academic year 2023–2024, as part of its celebration of the 125th anniversary of its charter in 1898, Alpha of California attempted to spread the word about special events and also to invite members of Phi Beta Kappa connected to the Berkeley campus to self-identify through an online form. Our appeals did not reach as many as we had hoped, so this Honor Roll is not a complete reflection of the presence of Phi Beta Kappa members in our community. In particular, the faculty listing is predominantly retired faculty, while the active faculty are underreported, and the roster of current graduate student members is also probably not indicative.
The induction dates of those on the list span eight decades: 19 from the 1950s, 50 from the 1960s, 89 from the 1970s, 38 from the 1980s, 34 from the 1990s, 13 from the 2000s, 19 from the 2010s, and 16 from the 2020s.
We thank all who participated in marking this milestone of Alpha of California!
