Aztec Women's Basketball's Kate Eveland Named Phi Beta Kappa
Senior earns spot in prestigious academic honor society
May 17, 2007 SAN DIEGO - San Diego State women's basketball player Kate Eveland (Southlake, Texas) has been honored for her outstanding achievements in the classroom, having been elected into the Phi Beta Kappa honor Society this past month. Eveland boasts a 3.77 cumulative grade-point average in international business and has been named to the Dean's List on five occasions. A year ago, the guard was one of 14 SDSU student-athletes to earn the Malik Award for her perfect 4.0 GPA during the fall of 2005. Eveland has also earned academic all-conference and scholar-athlete honors from the Mountain West following the 2004-05 and 2005-06 campaigns and was a two-time honoree at last month's SDSU Scholar-Athletes Awards Banquet. On the court, Eveland has played in all 83 games since coming to San Diego State as a true freshman in 2004-05. She ranks seventh in school history in career three-point attempts and ninth in career three-pointers made. The three-year letterwinner will travel to Belfast, Ireland this summer for a month and a half-long marketing internship, which is part of her degree requirements for the international business program. Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest undergraduate honors organization in the United States, having been founded in 1776. The society recognizes excellence in liberal arts and sciences and has 276 chapters on campuses around the country, including at San Diego State, which began in 1974. To qualify for induction, juniors must have a minimum 3.75 GPA in 75 semester units at SDSU and have at least 90 units in liberal arts and sciences. Their coursework also must demonstrate work outside their major, including in mathematics and proficiency in a foreign language. Students are invited to join Phi Beta Kappa by the chapter's faculty members, who review over 800 transcripts each year.
