Student wins third place in Phi Kappa Phi photo contest

A recent Brigham Young University graduate won third place in a national graduation photo contest sponsored by Phi Kappa Phi, one of the nation’s oldest honor societies.

Josh Nardone was selected from more than 250 other photo submissions to garnish third place overall. His photo portrayed him and his son Porter, both in cap and gown. Photos were voted on by members of Phi Kappa Phi.

Nardone will be attending the University of Colorado, Denver School of Dental Medicine. He is also working on his officer training with the United States Air Force.
