Russian Honors Society

The Dobro Slovo National Slavic Honor Society in the Department of World Languages and Linguistics at Western Michigan University recognizes academic excellence in Slavic studies (language, literature, culture and history) and has been patterned after other existing honorary organizations. The key of the society is as representative of academic excellence in Slavic studies as the Phi Beta Kappa is for academic studies as a whole.
