On Wednesday, March 23, 68 LSC students were inducted into the college’s local chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society for two-year colleges and academic programs.

PTK Alumni Advisor and Guistwhite Scholar Deanna Keller shared her personal story as a member and officer in the honors society, and credited PTK with both her development as a leader and her ability to afford higher education with its scholarships. She encouraged new members to likewise become involved in PTK as officers. “Does this sound like a sales pitch?” she asked. “It is.”

Students must have a G.P.A. of 3.5 or higher in order to be eligible for membership. Membership benefits include eligibility for scholarships, publishing opportunities and leadership development programming.
