EMCC Inducts Phi Theta Kappa Members

East Mississippi Community College has been awarded Five Star status, once again, by the nationwide academic honor society for community colleges.

At the Phi Theta Kappa Regional Hallmark Awards for the Mississippi/Louisiana region, held in March at Northeast Mississippi Community College, EMCC’s Scooba chapter was awarded Five Star Chapter status based on the number and type of activities undertaken by the chapter.

“These students are to be commended for their efforts in the classroom, on campus and in their communities,” said Scooba campus PTK advisor Janet Briggs, who received the Bennie Warren Distinguished Advisor Award during the regional conference. “They’re our top academic representatives, but also our campus leaders. And they’ll be our leaders of tomorrow in their respective communities.”

Twenty-two of the 48 chapters in the PTK’s Mississippi/Louisiana region earned Five Star status for 2013.

In addition to the Five Star ranking, the Scooba chapter was also recognized as a Top Five Chapter for the College Project, Top Ten Chapter for the Honors Study Topic, Top Ten Most Distinguished Chapter and student Chance Broom of Columbia was named to the Order of the Golden Key.

To maintain its Five Star status, the Scooba PTK must maintain its event schedule and student participation. The EMCC Golden Triangle campus chapter of PTK earned One Star status at the regional conference following its first year of participation in PTK’s Five Star Chapter Development Plan.
