SANFORD - Academic 成就 and service were celebrated April 11 as Central Carolina 社区 大学's Beta Sigma Phi Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society held its spring induction ceremony.

Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in American higher education. In 1929, the American Association of 社区 大学s recognized PTK as the official honor society for two-year colleges. The 在线电子游戏网赌 chapter sets a higher standard for membership eligibility than the national organization: a 3.7 grade point average rather than the 3.平均绩点达到国家要求的5分.

Nicole Thompson, Phi Theta Kappa的校友, was the speaker for the event held at the Dennis A. 柳条公民 & 会议中心. "You have accomplished something great; you have shown the dedication and promise that this honor society desires,她对入选者说. "Be immensely proud of how hard you've worked to get to this point."

Thompson talked about the PTK family. "Most of all, I'll never forget all the happiness and joy this organization gave to me," she said. "Because of this family, I now have a network of people I can lean on through thick and thin. Because of this family, I have become the strong, dedicated, confident woman that I am today.

"So, on this amazing day, I just have one last thing to say to you: Welcome to our family."

Dr. Rodney Powell, Chapter Advisor, gave the welcome and introduction of guests.

在线电子游戏网赌总裁博士. 莉莎米. Chapman offered her congratulations to the new PTK inductees.

Phi Theta Kappa is composed of Greek words symbolizing wisdom, aspiration, and purity. A white rose on the table symbolizes purity, 生活之美, 智力联想, while the oak and laurel leaves on the PTK emblem represent stability, 字符, 成就, 和成功.

中交有自己的荣誉协会, θ Tau, from 1986 until the chartering of the Phi Theta Kappa chapter in 2010.

Phi Theta Kappa officers - Daniel Painter (President), 宝拉·富内斯(副总裁), and Karmisha Hernandez Luciano (秘书) -- conducted the induction ceremony.

在它存在的岁月里, the college's Beta Sigma Phi Chapter has garnered a number of prestigious recognitions from PTK. These include the Five-Star ranking -- the highest ranking a chapter can receive for excellence, and awards at regional PTK conferences. It has also reached out to the community with service projects, such as assisting food banks and shelters.
