Students who participate in Phi Theta Kappa have the opportunity and are encouraged to join in community service projects. UACCM group members are involved in several projects and have adopted Bruce Street in Morrilton, where the group sponsors a roadside cleanup day each semester. Additionally, the group uses money raised throughout the year by their chapter through fundraisers including the PTK recycling program to support other community projects and scholarships for future students.


Students who earn a grade point average of 3.50 or better on 12 or more credit hours are invited to join Phi Theta Kappa, which emphasizes the hallmarks of leadership, scholarship, fellowship, and service. Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in American higher education with more than 1.3 million members and 1,200 chapters located in the United States, U.S. Territories, Canada, and Germany. The purpose of the organization is to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students by providing 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.


Congrats, guys!
