Phi Theta Kappa Honors Program Committee
The Phi Theta Kappa Honors Program Committee makes recommendations to headquarters staff about the new Honors Study Topic every two years and assists with the compilation of the Honors Program Guide. Made up of Phi Theta Kappa advisors, Headquarters staff, and consultants, the Honors Program Committee represents a broad knowledge of the democratization of information and Phi Theta Kappa’s integrated approach to the Hallmarks as well as a balance in academic disciplines.
Committee members serve as Faculty Scholars during the Honors Institute, held annually in June/July. They also attend the Faculty Scholar Conference, held annually in January/February, in order to prepare for their roles as Faculty Scholars at the Honors Institute.
