In recognition of their academic excellence, leadership, fellowship, and service, 70 Middlesex Community College students were inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society during a ceremony held at the College on April 22.  As new members of the award-winning Beta Gamma Xi Chapter, these students are now part of the largest international honor society for two-year colleges.

Phi Theta Kappa has been an active part of the MxCC community for more than 20 years.  During this past academic year, student members participated in the state-wide Community College Completion Corps event and completed the Honor in Action Project on “The Cresting Point,” a documentary film about the feasibility of solar power use on a college campus.  They also attended regional and international conferences, and held fundraising events for the MxCC Foundation’s scholarship program.

This year, under the direction of co-advisors Dr. Lin Lin, Dr. Eva Jones and Ms. Landi Hou, MxCC’s chapter earned the highest Five Star Level Chapter designation for the first time – recognizing the chapter’s high level of regional and national engagement.  The chapter also received the Honors in Action Distinguished Theme Award, and Connecticut C4 Participation Recognition.  Co-Advisor Dr. Lin received the New England Region Horizon Award.
