Honors in Action

HONORS IN ACTION- putting "honors" in "action"

Researching the Honors Study Topic and turning what you've learned into Action.

Our present Honors Study Topic:

The Culture of Competition

 

As honor students in Phi Theta Kappa we exhibit four hallmarks: Scholarship, Leadership, Fellowship, and Service.  The Honors in Action project is destined to integrate all four hallmarks for which this organization stands.

 

Beginning with Scholarship, a chapter is to conduct academic research on the current Honors Study Topic which changes every two-years and direct their research towards one of the ten issues listed in the Honors Program Guide.  (To see this, you'll have to go to the Phi Theta Kappa website, log in, and click on the Honors in Action link.) The chapter may want to consult with a community resource or their college educators for advice on which direction to go with their research.

 

Using Leadership, each chapter can now identify a need in their community based on the research they conducted on their issue and the Honors Study Topic.  To fill that need the chapter shall provide a Service to their community, building Fellowship among Phi Theta Kappa and community members along the way.

 

Each year chapters who submit an Honors in Action Project are recognized for accomplishments and their efforts in helping the world become a brighter, better, and more beautiful place to live at the Annual Convention as well as the Michigan Regional Convention. It is a pretty exciting event and we encourage you to be involved!!
