We appreciate your interest in the Walden University Phi Delta Kappa (PDK) Cyberspace Chapter. We are the first PDK chapter with no geographic location, operating entirely via the Internet.

Phi Delta Kappa's mission is the scientific investigation of education in the interest of humanity. This mission is accomplished through the research, service and leadership of thousands of PDK members and leaders around the globe. Each chapter focuses its efforts in areas most important and relevant to its membership community.

The cost to join the Walden chapter is $95.00. These annual dues include full membership in the international Phi Delta Kappa organization, with the Walden Cyberspace Chapter as "local" chapter affiliation. The Walden chapter participates in many programs through International, but also extends our service, leadership and research activities in areas important to our unique membership community. It is not necessary to have an affiliation with Walden University to join our chapter, though many of our members do, and we nurture an ongoing relationship with the Walden community. A significant proportion of our members join our chapter because of our innovative internet-based meeting style, and our global scope of interest.
