麻豆视频 has announced the induction of three new members to the Alpha Nu Zeta chapter of Phi Alpha Theta (PAT), the national History Honors Society.

On March 13, Bailey Groom, a junior from Texarkana, Texas; Garrett Marks, a sophomore from Crossett, Arkansas; and Samantha Stephens, a junior from San Antonio, Texas, were initiated into PAT at an evening ceremony held at the Drew County Public Library.

Groom and Stephens are also on the UAM Softball team, and several members of the team attended the ceremony. Groom was not surprised by the presence of her teammates. 鈥淲e support each other,鈥� she said. Groom is majoring in political science and history and is planning to become a lawyer. 鈥淗istory is an excellent major if you are going into law. We learn how to make and support an argument, evaluate sources and synthesize large amounts of information鈥攁ll the skills I will need in law school.鈥� 

鈥淏eing a student-athlete is incredibly demanding,鈥� commented PAT faculty advisor Dr. Sharon Silzell, 鈥渂ut maintaining a GPA high enough to qualify for Phi Alpha Theta while training and competing at the college level is a remarkable achievement.鈥�

Phi Alpha Theta鈥檚 mission is to promote the study of history through the encouragement of research, good teaching, publication and the exchange of learning and ideas among historians. The UAM chapter toured Lakeport Plantation in the fall and will spend a day at Vicksburg National Military Park in April. PAT members are also encouraged to participate in community service, and last October, the UAM chapter sponsored the Monticello Mayoral Candidate Debate, moderated by PAT co-advisor Dr. John Kyle Day.
