Iota Book Awards for Outstanding Freshmen
The Iota Book Award is co-sponsored by the Iota Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and The College at the University of Rochester. The award was first conceived and presented in 2003, as a way of recognizing excellence at the very beginning of a student's college experience. Awardees are selected for their scholarly achievement, humanistic values, co-curricular activity, and leadership potential.
The 6th annual Iota Book Award ceremony was held December 2, 2008 at 7:00pm, in the Welles Brown Room of Rush Rhees Library. Eighteen sophomores were honored for their extraordinary achievement in their first year at the University of Rochester.
