Central Washington University is home to the Washington Alpha Chapter of Phi Sigma Tau, the International Philosophy Honor Society. The purpose of Phi Sigma Tau is to serve as a means to award distinction to students with high scholarship and personal interest in philosophy, to promote student interest in research and advanced study in the field, to provide opportunities for the publication of student research papers of merit, to encourage a professional spirit and friendship among those who have displayed a marked ability in the field, and to popularize interest in philosophy among the general collegiate public.
If you are interested in learning more about our Phi Sigma Tau, please contact Dr. Matthew Altman, altmanm@cwu.edu
Phi Sigma Tau will receive into its membership those who attain high standards of scholarship in philosophy and other subjects, and who give evidence of professional merit, proficiency and distinction.
