Sary Baker of Norwalk has earned a distinction few undergraduates achieve. On April 5, she was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society at the University of Wisconsin–Madison—an academic milestone that reflects years of intellectual rigor and unwavering curiosity.
Baker, a student in UW–Madison’s College of Letters & Science, was among just 245 undergraduates invited to join the nation’s oldest and most prestigious academic honor society. Inductees are selected based on exceptional academic performance across a broad range of disciplines. Requirements include a cumulative GPA of at least 3.80 and demonstrated achievement in mathematics, foreign language, and diverse fields of study beyond one’s major.
Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa recognizes students who embrace a true liberal arts education. Inductees are not only high achievers in the classroom—they are also thinkers and explorers, committed to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.
Sary Baker’s accomplishment places her among an esteemed group of scholars nationwide and reflects the strong educational values she has carried from Norwalk to the heart of the Midwest. Her recognition by Phi Beta Kappa is a mark of excellence that will follow her wherever her intellectual journey leads next.
