Thirty-one Southwestern Community College students celebrated their accomplishments with family and friends during a dual ceremony for the Alpha Beta Gamma and National Technical Honor Societies on April 4 at the college’s Jackson Campus.
To be eligible for membership into Alpha Beta Gamma, students must be enrolled in a qualifying business-related program, have completed at least 15 hours of college-level academic credit during the previous three semesters, have a program GPA of 3.0 or higher, demonstrate ideals of scholarship, leadership and cooperation and be nominated by a program faculty member.
For the National Technical Honor Society, students must have completed 12 hours of academic coursework with at least a 3.5 GPA to be eligible for membership. They must also be nominated by a teaching faculty member and rank among the top 20 percent of active students in their respective programs.
“These students represent just two percent of our student body, so we know they have worked extremely hard to earn induction into one – or both – of these honor societies,” said Dr. Thom Brooks, Executive Vice President of Instruction and Student Services at SCC.
