Marietta College celebrated the induction of seven Pioneers into its chapter of the international art honor society Kappa Pi, during a ceremony held on Wednesday, Dec. 3. The honor society, which has existed for more than a century, recognizes art students who demonstrate academic excellence, artistic commitment, and leadership within their creative disciplines. Founded in 1911, Kappa Pi now includes hundreds of chapters across the United States and abroad, connecting student artists through exhibitions, lectures, and collaborative opportunities.
The College’s Alpha Zeta Lambda chapter, established in 2004, welcomes members who have completed at least 12 credit hours in art, art history, or graphic design; maintain a 3.0 GPA in these courses; and hold a 3.0 cumulative GPA. The chapter is advised by Professor Jolene Powell, McCoy Professor of Art and Director of Gallery 310.
This year’s inductees include:
- Riley Anslow ’27, Chapter President
- Mariah Berry ’28
- Dilyn Hunley ’27
- Jazlyn Ingold ’26
- Carly Keller ’27
- Hannah Perry ’27
- Phoebe Smith ’25
“I am looking forward to working with our newest members of Kappa Pi to continue to showcase the arts at Marietta College and bring our campus and greater communities together through many facets of artmaking,” said Powell.
Kappa Pi brings together student-artists who are passionate about creating meaningful work and contributing to Marietta College’s tradition of visual arts. Each induction continues the College’s legacy of supporting emerging talent and preparing students to lead with creativity and purpose. Marietta College’s honor societies offer distinguished students opportunities for scholarship, service, and community engagement within their disciplines.
