Arbor Day celebration planned
The Town of Wytheville will hold its annual Arbor Day Celebration on Friday, April 24, at 10 a.m. on the corner of East Franklin and Church streets.
The Tree Advisory Committee will plant a Princeton elm to commemorate the day. Additionally, they will also plant an autumn brilliance service berry across the street in front of Barnett Funeral Home.
Arbor Day, the nation’s tree planting holiday, was first celebrated in 1872. The Arbor Day Foundation was created 100 years later in 1972 to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. For more information about Arbor Day, visit https://www.arborday.org/.
Dale inducted into honor society
Samantha Dale of Wytheville was recently elected to membership into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society, at Radford University.
Dale is among approximately 20,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.
Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the Society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and its territories. Its mission is to "cultivate a community that celebrates and advances the love of learning."
