For the first time in three years, Southwestern Community College was able to host an in-person, combined ceremony to induct the newest members of Alpha Beta Gamma and National Technical Honor Society.
More than 40 students were inducted into each of the honor societies during the event, which was held on April 21 in Myers Auditorium at SCC’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 course work 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.
“We’re thrilled that we were finally able to hold this ceremony in-person again, allowing family, friends and instructors to celebrate these students and all that they’ve achieved,” said Dr. Thom Brooks, Executive Vice President for Instruction and Student Services at SCC.
