A champion for social justice, women's rights, health care and many other causes, she made contributions to the African-American community and culture that go well beyond music and entertainment. She put actionable words into heart-touching songs about life, and she touched the lives of others by putting words into action through charitable fundraising causes she held close to her heart.

The distinctive sound of her voice has influenced countless successful performers across multiple generations and music genres. Her timeless, powerful messages have inspired activists, as she supported such historical leaders as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President Barack Obama.

May the iconic Queen of Soul's legacy live on to touch many generations to come.

Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society Approves New Chapter for Chapman University

Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious honor society, has admitted Chapman University as a member.

"Less than 10 percent of U.S. colleges and universities have received the designation of Phi Beta Kappa," said Chapman University President Daniele Struppa. "It is truly the highest distinction a university can earn. We are proud to have been selected to join this time-honored association, and we know it is an important next step in the life of Chapman University."

Student Impact

The benefit to students is enduring, Struppa said

"When a student is elected as a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, it is a prestigious achievement that will have a highly positive impact on their career pursuits and lifelong opportunities," the president noted. "To employers and future associates, it is a recognized measurement of their hard work, critical thinking skills and intellectual curiosity."

The honor follows a rigorous three-year application and review process. Chapman will officially open its Phi Beta Kappa (PBK) chapter this fall.

In addition to having a top GPA, students must meet Phi Beta Kappa's stringent national requirements in mathematics, foreign languages, conduct/character and breadth and depth in the liberal arts and sciences. These students are then acknowledged as the top 10 percent of the University's undergraduate liberal arts and science students and are granted lifetime membership. Students are inducted as members of PBK in their final year of college. All members are entitled to wear the Phi Beta Kappa "key" pin, an internationally recognized symbol of academic and personal achievement.

Acknowledgement of Excellence

"This is an exciting and proud time for us ― Chapman's substantial growth and educational advancements have again been heralded on a national stage," said Lisa Leitz, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Peace Studies at Chapman University. Leitz led the committee working on Chapman's application. "This acknowledgment heightens the prestige of Chapman's undergraduate education. Every aspect of what makes a university exceptional – from general education requirements to student affairs programming, graduation rates to financial stability, library holdings to faculty governance procedures — was evaluated by PBK at Chapman over the last 20 years. This success acknowledges our simultaneous growth and improved educational outcomes of our students and faculty."
Endowment Support

Chapman has committed to supporting its PBK chapter by establishing a $3 million endowment designated to further the work of Phi Beta Kappa at Chapman and to support related initiatives on campus that develop the talents of Chapman students in preparation for graduate work and excellence in the workforce.

Students elected to Phi Beta Kappa join a lifetime network of more than 500,000 other members around the nation who are business, technology and government leaders; distinguished scientists, doctors and lawyers; noted artists, writers and journalists; and prominent activists and philanthropists.

The first five universities to found Phi Beta Kappa chapters were the College of William & Mary (1776), Yale University (1780), Harvard University (1781), Dartmouth College (1787) and Union College (1817).

With its new membership in PBK, Chapman University joins the company of Stanford University, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Occidental College, Scripps College, UC San Diego, UC Davis, San Francisco State, Claremont McKenna, Pomona College and others in California.

Artistica Italian Gallery Acquires Deruta of Italy

Artistica Italian Gallery, a family-owned importer of Italian home decor for over 28 years, announced that it has acquired the assets of New York-based Deruta of Italy, the oldest B2B distributor of hand-painted ceramics and majolica from the medieval hill town of Deruta, Italy, into the United States. Coinciding with Deruta of Italy's 35th anniversary, the sale sets in motion a comprehensive marketing and rebranding campaign, including the company's first-ever B2B eCommerce website.

A catalogue featuring new product collections in addition to key line extensions to existing collections is on the works.

"We are proud to continue the storied legacy of Deruta of Italy in the USA," said Marco Margaritelli, founder of Artistica, noting that the painstaking production process used to create the intricately detailed wares has resulted in limited availability of Deruta-produced designs in the American market.

The town came to prominence for its ceramics in the 15th and 16th centuries; today, each piece is still meticulously handcrafted by master artisans in the same time-honored technique to realize one-of-a-kind works of ceramic art signed by the artist. "We can continue to provide the market with the highest quality of handmade ceramics ready for immediate shipping," Margaritelli continued, "while preserving the tradition of craftsmanship that would have otherwise resulted in a major loss for Deruta's Italian suppliers."

Margaritelli acquired the company from longtime friend and Deruta of Italy Founder Salvatore Termini upon his retirement. Renamed as Artistica – Deruta of Italy, the consolidated company will operate from Artistica's new facility based in Glenview, IL.

The renowned Deruta of Italy lineup will complement Artistica's existing selection of Italian ceramics and the new Deruta Candles line, allowing the company to considerably expand its dinnerware and tabletop offerings, according to Margaritelli.

Artistica has debuted a B2B-only website for the Deruta brand at http://www.derutaofitaly.com and launched an e-commerce associate drop-ship program. All Deruta products will be available for drop-shipping to third-party e-commerce sites. Upon enrollment, qualified e-commerce sites will be provided with access to the full product database and imagery to upload for sale on their website. Requests should be submitted to deruta(at)artistica.com.

Deruta of Italy's current selection highlights some of its most celebrated classic patterns, such as Raffaellesco, a 16th century dragon-based pattern reputed to have been first painted by Raphael; Ricco Deruta, an illustrious Renaissance-era design; and Orvieto Rooster; a crowing rooster motif that symbolizes good wishes for blessings, prosperity and wellbeing.

Honoring the past while simultaneously moving into the present, Deruta will be introducing line extensions to the Raffaellesco and Ricco Deruta Collections, including candles, biscotti jars and olive oil dispensers.
