Convocation Participants Pavel Bermudez Escobedo was born in Mexico and lived there until he was eight years old. He has lived in Utah ever since, except for his mission to Texas and New Mexico. He has just finished up his philosophy degree, and he is excited to be attending the University of Michigan Law School this coming fall.

Alixa Brobbey is graduating with a degree in English. She was raised in the Netherlands and spent some time in Ghana before traveling to Utah to attend BYU. She will attend BYU Law School in fall 2021. In her free time, she enjoys writing and performing poems and other literary works.

Josie Manwill, an American studies major, is the president of the American Studies Student Council and has earned a minor in family studies. Although she grew up on the Wasatch Front, she has gradually come to love interfaith work and public histories by interacting with many religious groups through traveling, learning from her mentors at BYU, and personal research and community work. She plans to attend graduate school to pursue a degree in interfaith dialogue and then work as either a university professor or an informal educator.

Josie’s family is her greatest support. Their love has inspired her to continue to gain an education and find meaning in her life.

Jonelle Sedgwick Olsen graduated in Spanish with a minor in nonprofit management. She is interested in using the skills she has learned at BYU to support immigrants and refugees finding a new life in the United States. She enjoys singing with her family and traveling, and she is obsessed with her husband, Keith.

Scholastic Recognition University Honors

Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society

Students graduating with University Honors have completed several interdisciplinary General Education courses, performed educational service or studied in a foreign setting, written an interdisciplinary essay and a thesis, and defended their thesis in their major discipline.

Inductees are required to uphold superior scholarship and good character. Unlike a fraternity, Phi Kappa Phi is an honor society.
