Thomas McLeod, PTK advisor, said, “International Phi Theta Kappa headquarters was targeting a 15% acceptance rate of eligible students from their chapters, and UACCM accepted 30% this year. This membership represents the top 7% of students on the UACCM campus.  PTK members are active in campus activities and fund raising for philanthropic causes.  Many members were recognized for their campus involvement at this year’s Student Recognition Ceremony.  These students work hard both in and outside of the classroom to receive this honor, and we are proud to have them as part of our organization.”

Phi Theta Kappa's mission is to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and to provide opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming. Students with a 3.6 grade point average are eligible for membership upon completing 12 college credit hours.
