The International organization of Phi
Theta Kappa -- the two-year college honor
society -- awarded chapters of Anoka-Ramsey
Community College with acclaim at its
86th International Convention in Minneapolis,

Rapids Campus. These two chapters received
several awards at the regional conference

by earning accolades at the International
level where nearly 500 chapters competed
for the society’s most coveted
awards.
“One of the guiding principals
that Gordy Wax (Co-Advisor) and I use
when working with Phi Theta Kappa is
to remain mission focused,” says
Luanne Kane, Advisor for Alpha Delta
Alpha. “Every activity we take
on and every goal that we set is grounded
in the mission of Phi Theta Kappa. Remaining
focused on the mission was instrumental
to achieving success this year."
