Welcome to the home page of the Phi Beta Kappa Association of Northeast Missouri (NEMO-PBK). We are a regional association chartered by the National Phi Beta Kappa Society in Washington D.C. In keeping with the mission of the society, our association seeks to promote scholarship, friendship and cultural interests in Northeast Missouri. The most notable achievement of the Association since being founded in 1991 has been the successful installation of a Phi Beta Kappa Chapter on the Truman State University campus. In addition, each year we award medals to Truman graduates receiving general honors and sponsor lectures and social events. Our newsletter covers all of the activities promoted by the Association.

If you are a member of Phi Beta Kappa and residing in Northeast Missouri, we welcome you to join our association . Interested Phi Beta Kappans should contact any of our Association Officers .

Henry Smits Lecture

"Illness and Identity: The Leper That Lurks in Us All"
Gerald G. Osborn, lecturer in philosophy at Truman State University.
7:00 pm, SUB Alumni Room


Philosophically, identity implies sameness, but paradoxically people maintain a sense of personal identity in the midst of lives changing constantly. Illness and injury can alter this abiding sense of sameness and can become an affront to people's personal identity. In its most malignant form, the process becomes all-consuming and the person becomes their disease.

A psychiatrist, teacher and consultant, Dr. Osborn's areas of research center on the interfaces between psychiatry and primary-care medicine and in medical ethics and history.
