Publishing Opportunities
Phi Theta Kappa gives you multiple opportunities to have your work showcased in nationally distributed publications.
Civic Scholar
Civic Scholar: Phi Theta Kappa Journal of Undergraduate Research is the first journal of its kind to feature research and community engagement by community college students.
Work with your local chapter to research an issue facing your college campus or greater community. Then, turn your research into action — create a project or event that meets a specific community need and leaves a lasting impact.
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation proudly supports Civic Scholar.
Change Makers
