Reynolds inducts over 100 into Phi Theta Kappa honor society during fall semester
Reynolds Community College’s Chapters of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society inducted over 100 new members recently at their annual fall induction ceremony. Students who have completed 12 transferable credit hours and have a 3.3 cumulative GPA at the college are invited to join PTK every fall and spring semester.
Alpha Iota Beta Chapter President Angela Graves opened the festivities and Reynolds President Dr. Gary Rhodes welcomed the group. Community Food Collaborative Associate Director Amanda Hall delivered a motivational speech as the keynote speaker, emphasizing the students’ service to the community.
Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society serves to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and provide opportunities for individual growth and development through honors, leadership and service programming. Reynolds has two chapters at the college. The Alpha Iota Beta chapter represents members enrolled in programs at the Parham Road Campus and the Alpha Gamma Omicron chapter represents members enrolled in programs at the Goochland and Downtown campuses. Reynolds has inducted 5,216 members since 1982.
