Students must maintain a 3.0 to continue being a member.

The students being inducted are Miguel Perez, Emily Gibson, Alexandria Lucero, Keylee Guevara, Alan Orona, Ana Herrera, Ashly Hart, Alondra Rios, Cindy Lucero, Brian Martinez, Amy Zeledon, Jordann Davis, Maria Herrera, Natalie Melendez-Velador, Karlo Marcelo Flores, Caroline Garcia-Hernandez, Blaney Moreno, Cindy Aguilar, Magaly Villa, Keelin Lahita and Kaitlyn Van Vleet.

Ty Hughbanks, who is a sponsor for Phi Theta Kappa, is hoping that the public will come out to the ceremony.

“It’s important to recognize the academic accomplishments and achievements of these students,” said Hughbanks, who is a biology instructor at SCCC.

The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa shall be to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa shall provide opportunity for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate for exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.
