Theology Honor Society News

Theta Alpha Kappa, the national honor society for students of Religious Studies and Theology, was founded 26 years ago to serve the needs of those involved in religious studies and theology at the baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate levels of higher education. There are currently over 160 chapters in the U.S., including one at Barry. The Faculty Sponsor is Fr. Daniel Madden, OP. Each year, TAK presents the Albert Clark Award to one undergraduate and one graduate student for the best papers in religious studies or theology, as judged by a panel established by the National Board of Directors. Competition winners receive $200 each, and their articles are published in the Journal of TAK. The competition is open to all students at schools with TAK chapters and to alumni members of TAK. Contact Dr. Gloria L. Schaab, SSJ at gschaab@mail.barry.edu for more information on this Award.

Theta Alpha Kappa is a related scholarly organization of the American Academy of Religion, an affiliate society of the Council of Societies for the Study of Religion, and a member of the Association of College Honor Societies.
