We are excited to announce our 2020 class of Phi Mu History Makers, an initiative that was launched in 2018 to honor the achievements of noteworthy alumnae and celebrate our historic alliance with the National Women’s History Museum. Each year, we will honor as many as 19 women, a nod to the 19th Amendment.
