Mammel Hall – Kaylee Lahti, a 2024 graduate of the UNO College of Business Administration has been selected to receive a Phi Kappa Phi Fellowship. She is one of 54 student members from across the country to receive the $8500 fellowship. The funds will help offset the cost of her first year of graduate school or professional study. Lahti plans to attend Law School in the fall.

Lahti, an Omaha native, graduated from UNO in May with dual degrees---she earned her bachelor's degree in business administration with a concentration in legal studies and a bachelor's degree in arts in foreign languages and literature—Spanish. Lahti was a member of the University Honors Program and graduated Summa Cum Laude. She received the UNO Distinguished Honors Scholarship and was a member of the Dean’s/Chancellor’s Lists every semester at UNO. In 2023 she was inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society and was a 2024 Inductee into Phi Kappa Phi. She was selected by UNO to be a presenter in the student competition at the Academy for Legal Studies in Business (ALSB) Centennial conference in Washington D.C. this August, where she will present her legal studies capstone project: "The Right to Unplug: Consumer Protection in the Era of Data Mining".

In August, she starts law school at the Creighton School of Law and was selected to be a Dean’s Fellow.

Lahti says, “I am incredibly grateful for my time at UNO, the education and support provided to me by the university has been invaluable in helping me to achieve my career goals!”

Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest and most selective multidisciplinary collegiate honor society initiates approximately 20,000 members a year on more than 300 campuses in the United States, its territories and the Philippines.

More than 1.75 million members have joined its ranks since Phi Kappa Phi’s founding in 1897 at the University of Maine. It is a global network of the best and brightest, a community of scholars and professionals building an enduring legacy for all generations.
