SPINDALE (Feb. 8, 2023) – Four students at Isothermal Community College were inducted into the Sigma Chi Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa recently. 

Phi Theta Kappa is the national honor society for two-year college students. The organization provides opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in activities that involve four hallmarks: scholarship, fellowship, leadership and service. 

To qualify for membership in Phi Theta Kappa, students are required to have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 and to have completed 12 hours of associate-level course study. 

The students inducted for 2023 are Joseph Burton, Ashlyn Cox, Camila Escalante, and Clarissa Pressley.
