NCC Inducts Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society Members

A formal induction ceremony was held at Nash Community College for the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 in Brown Auditorium.

The Beta Upsilon Delta Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa national honor society recognizes and encourages scholarship among two-year college students, and provides opportunities for the development of leadership and service. The organization promotes an intellectual climate with the exchange of ideas and ideals for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.

NCC President, Dr. Bill Carver, addressed the inductees. “You are celebrated for your accomplishments, not for just approaching the academic work but proving that you are among the best.”

To be eligible for membership in Phi Theta Kappa, students must have completed a minimum of twelve semester hours of non-developmental coursework and must have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher. To maintain membership, the student must continue high academic achievement throughout enrollment.

Quoting author William Arthur Ward, Carver said, “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

President Carver added, “But it is the student that takes the lessons to heart and is able to prove what has been learned. All of you are to be congratulated. You have learned a great deal and I know you will take the knowledge acquired here and only build upon it.”
