The Iota X chapter of Phi Theta Kappa invite you, our members to put Honors into Action by exploring the 2010-2011 Honors Study Topic, The Democratization of Information:Power, Peril and Promise. This topic is controversial and consequential, and therefore worthy of our consideration. It provides the basis for Honors in Action projects for individuals, chapters and regions to learn, lead, serve and collaborate with others. In essence, all four Hallmarks of Phi Theta Kappa make up the critical elements of Honors in Action projects: Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Fellowship. Honors in Action project ideas are included in the guide to help get you started. You choose where to direct your focus and impact.
With 10 different issues to explore, there is something for everyone no matter your background, interests or field of study. This Honors Study Topic affects us all – how we study, shop, socialize, share our passions and develop ideas to address the world’s challenges. Imagine the incredible potential for impact when thousands of Phi Theta Kappa honor students focus their attention and efforts in the same area: The Democratization of Information: Power, Peril and Promise! How will it change you?
The Spring 2010 Induction for New Members will be held in the Student Commons. Inductees should arrive at 5:30 to line up and prepare. Family, Friends and Guest should arrive by 6:30, Induction will begin promptly at 7:PM.
