The Northern Marianas College’s Beta Lambda Psi Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa is now opening its ranks to interested student of NMC who wants to join the college’s first ever honor society club.
Members of the club are recognized for their excellence in academics and leadership skills. Also, members are eligible for benefits in scholarships exceeding $35 million annually, publication in the National Dean’s List, and free access to cutting-edge online benefits, among others.
PTK officers and advisors are currently accepting applications from interested individuals. Although the chapter holds no deadline for applications, the induction for new members will be determined upon completion of the application and membership requirements.
Interested students are required to be currently enrolled in NMC, must have completed at least 15 credits, with a 3.5 GPA. However, if a student fails to meet these requirements, he or she may become a provisional member of the local chapter in NMC.
Induction for new members for fall semester will be held on Nov. 13. Another induction ceremony will be held during the spring semester for new members who have not met the requirements during the fall semester.
For more information contact advisers Angie Sills or Dr. Debra Cabrera at 234-3690 or 234-5498.
