SUNY Canton Students Inducted Into

Honor Society

Twenty-six SUNY Canton students recently joined the esteemed ranks of Phi Theta Kappa, the largest academic honor society in American higher education. "These students represent the best of tomorrow's alumni," SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy said. "I applaud the hard work these individuals have put into becoming outstanding students. I am pleased to see their academic excellence has been nationally recognized."

Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society has more than 1.5 million members and 1,200 chapters both internationally and abroad. The honor society's mission includes the recognition and encouragement of the academic achievement of two-year college students. Members are encouraged to grow and develop through leadership activities and service; as well as provide an intellectual atmosphere to stimulate the free exchange of scholarly ideas.
