The Phi Theta Kappa Experience is Honors in Action
All of us – members, officers, advisors, as well as college faculty and administrators – contribute to the creation of the Phi Theta Kappa Experience through Honors in Action. “Honors in Action” means that scholars are engaging with their communities using the Phi Theta Kappa Hallmarks of Scholarship (defined as Scholarly Inquiry), Leadership, Service, and Fellowship to seek solutions for the world’s challenges related to our Honors Study Topic, The Democratization of Information: Power, Peril, and Promise.
The Honors in Action project descriptions in this Guide provide the initial ideas and guidance for comprehensive projects. They may vary in scope depending upon the number of people involved – a single Phi Theta Kappa member, a chapter, an honors class, an entire college community – but the essence of the projects remains the same: focus on an aspect of the Honors Study Topic and integration of all the Phi Theta Kappa Hallmarks through scholarly inquiry, leadership and leadership development, service and service-learning, and collaboration.
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!
