Cass Dalglish: PBK Recognition
English and Women's Studies Professor Cass Dalglish will soon be inducted into the St. Kate's chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. The process for reviewing alumnae is rigorous and requires a significant record of publication. In Cass's case the PBK committee at St. Kate's began the process when they came across her most recent book, "Humming the Blues." Representatives of the St. Kate's chapter, who came to campus Thursday to surprise Cass with the news, feel her work as scholar and teacher exemplifies the best of the liberal arts tradition that PBK advocates. Cass will be inducted the evening of April 26 at St. Kate's. We in the English Department are very proud of her record of achievement and pleased that she is being recognized by her alma mater.
