During the induction ceremony IRSC President Dr. Timothy Moore provided encouragement to the inductees before awarding them with Phi Theta Kappa medallions, as he welcomed family and friends to the stage to take photos and celebrate alongside each inductee. Elizabeth Gaskin, Vice President of Student Success at the College, presented the candidates to Dr. Moore and led them in reciting the Phi Theta Kappa oath.

Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa has a presence on nearly 1,300 community college campuses in 11 nations, and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) recognized PTK as the official honor society for two-year colleges in 1929. Since its establishment in 1918, more than 3.8 million students have been inducted to the society which has approximately 250,000 active members in the nation’s community colleges.

Eligible students are invited to apply for membership each semester. The Fall 2023 Induction Ceremony was held on April 19 and welcomed 58 candidates at that time. The Nu Iota Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society promotes scholarship and encourages development of character while cultivating fellowship among two-year college students.
