Phi Theta Kappa, Iota Xi, Induction Ceremony Spring 2011
Last night Iota Xi had the pleassure and honor of inducting 51 new members into our chapter in a ceremony where intellectual associations and hard work were recognized.
We are proud to say that we had the special presence of our fellow Phi Theta Kappans from Hudson County College. Besides these special guests, we also had the honor to hear the words of wisdom of Union County College distinguished Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Wallace Smith and Professor Phillip Martin who is a former president of the Iota Xi Chapter and has an outstanding history of academic excellence.
Professor Karen Schmidt, advisor of the chapter, also welcomed our new members with a magnificent speech, and Chapter President Ms. Diana Gonzalez congratulated them and offered her warm words that showed what Iota Xi has to offer and how content the entire team feels to receive more wonderful students and moreover individuals as part of our team.
We thank Gloria Elizabeth Blanco for organizing the event and serving as master of ceremony, and each one of the officers who put so much energy and enthusiasm to make this possible.

Community-College Students Help One Another to the Finish Line
By Jennifer Gonzalez
Students themselves, led by the honor society of two-year colleges, are taking up the call to improve graduation rates.
It is about Phi Theta Kappa efforts to get students involved.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing these articles!
The participation of Iota Xi on the program called C4 which aims to encourage students to complete their degrees at community colleges is being talked about. We consider this a very important issue to focus our efforts on.
We will keep you informed!
