November 2016
Center Ph.D. student Bo Jin received the 2016 PBK (Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society) International Scholarship Award ($2,000)
Keynote from PBK Honor Society: each year, the International Scholarship Committee reviews nominations of foreign graduate students, usually in their last year of Ph.D. work, from Southern California member universities. Typically, we find ourselves faced with a candidate pool of scholars, who are impressive not only for their intellect but also for their determination to study in a foreign country and write complex dissertations, often in a language not their own.
