Phi Theta Kappa at Northwest Florida State College Inducts 69 New Members for Fall 2020

At the start of the Fall 2020 semester, the Sigma Mu Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa at Northwest Florida State College inducted 69 new members. Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) is the international honor society of two-year colleges and academic programs that promotes leadership, fellowship, service and scholarship. Eligibility for membership requires students to have completed at least 12 hours of associate degree course work and keep a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above.

NWFSC’s Sigma Mu Chapter of PTK has been awarded Five Star Chapter status in 2018 and 2019. 

“Members of Phi Theta Kappa are among the brightest students here at Northwest Florida State College,” said Dr. Devin Stephenson, President of NWFSC. “Not only do they excel in the classroom, but they lead their peers with academic excellence and community service. I commend all of our new inductees this academic year.”
