Sorensen Undergraduate Academic Excellence Award

Jada Iwuoha, of Woodstock, Maryland, was recently selected as one of the recipients of the 2025 Shirley C. Sorensen Undergraduate Academic Excellence Award from The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi Chapter 022BC-University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Jada was selected by the awards committee for their outstanding academic excellence and active participation within the university and the broader community. In particular, the committee was impressed by their perseverance to succeed and to serve others. Jada is currently pursing a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Entrepreneurship.

Each spring, the UMBC chapter invites applications from its undergraduate student members to apply for the $1,000 award. The Shirley C. Sorensen Undergraduate Academic Excellence Award is bestowed in recognition of the numerous contributions that Dr. Sorensen has made over many years to The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi and especially to the former five-campus chapter, University of Maryland Chapter 22, which was chartered in 1920.

Chartered in 2010, Chapter 22BC invites the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors for membership in Phi Kappa Phi. 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.

More About Phi Kappa Phi
Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. The Society's mission is "To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others." Since its founding, more than 1.5 million members have been initiated. Some of the organization's more notable members include former President Jimmy Carter, NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence, novelist John Grisham and YouTube cofounder Chad Hurley. Each year, Phi Kappa Phi awards nearly $1 million to qualifying students and members through graduate fellowships, undergraduate study abroad grants, member and chapter awards, and grants for local and national literacy initiatives.

This summer, four UMBC faculty members were awarded summer fellowships from the Dresher Center.

Keegan Cook Finberg, Assistant Professor in English, will research and write an essay for peer-review, “Utopian Resistance and Imperial Steinian Form in Harryette Mullen’s Trimmings and S*PeRM**K*T,” to be published in The Edinburgh Companion to Women's Experimental Literature since 1900. The essay examines two books of poetry by African American poet Haryette Mullen, which thematize neoliberal forms of racialized commodification and marketization of gender in the 1990s.

Emily Yoon, Assistant Professor in English, will work to revise her book proposal and refine two chapters to serve as writing samples to submit to academic presses. Her book project, Little Intimacies: Ecologies of Race, Migration, and Relation in Minority Literatures, takes a comparative approach to investigate how the environments in which global migrations occur inform how minoritized characters experience and understand race and relation.

Kyung-Eun Yoon, Assistant Professor in Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communication, will work to advance her project, "K-Pop and Memes in Protest Discourse: Identity and Collective Membership in the 2024-2025 South Korean Impeachment Protests," which examines the dynamic protest culture surrounding the 2024-2025 South Korean impeachment protests, focusing on how younger generations integrated K-pop culture and memes into their activism.

Natalie Groom, Affiliate Artist of Clarinet in Music, will research, study, engrave, and publish a Trio for clarinet, horn, and bassoon that was written by music history pioneer Pauline Oliveros (1932—2016). Some brief records indicate the Trio was written in 1955, but no records indicate that the work was published or performed.

Please join us in congratulating these fellows!
