NEW INITIATIVES
CONNECT WITH COURTNEY
PHI BETA DELTA HONOR SOCIETY FOR INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS
ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT The College of Arts & Sciences is advancing its commitment to alumni engagement by building inclusive, meaningful opportunities that connect graduates with current students, faculty and ongoing college initiatives. From social media interactions and storytelling to strategic collaborations and volunteerism, these efforts aim to strengthen community bonds and foster lifelong relationships across generations of Eagles. At the helm of this work is Courtney Allen, M.A., who joined the college this year as Associate Director of Alumni Engagement. With over two decades of experience in K–16 education, counseling psychology and program leadership, Courtney is spearheading new initiatives designed to elevate alumni voices and involvement. One such initiative is the newly formed Dean’s Student and Alumni Council. Through Courtney’s work, the college is not only celebrating the accomplishments of its alumni but also actively involving them in shaping the future of the Eagle community.
In 2024, the College of Arts & Sciences led the successful establishment of the Theta Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars at Embry-Riddle Worldwide. Officially approved by the society’s Board of Directors, this chapter represents a significant milestone in the college’s commitment to advancing international education and global scholarship. The initiative was led by Dr. Karim Hardy, associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology. Phi Beta Delta is an interdisciplinary honor society that recognizes academic excellence among international students, scholars who have studied abroad and faculty and staff engaged in international work. The society promotes global engagement, supports international academic programming and fosters collaboration across cultures and disciplines. The chapter’s establishment strengthens the college’s mission to promote interdisciplinary global learning and foster scholarly collaboration.
