Honors in Action

Gain Real-World Experience and Create a Lasting Impact

Use what you’re learning in the classroom to research and solve real-world challenges facing your college and community. Through Phi Theta Kappa’s exclusive honors program, Honors in Action, you’ll gain key skills that today’s employers want to see.

Set yourself apart as a leader on campus

Learn to think critically and reflectively

Learn to work as part of a team

Collaborate with college and community leaders

How it Works

You’ll connect with your local chapter and other students like you to identify and research an issue on your campus or in your larger community. Then, you’ll turn that research into a plan of action by creating a project or event that meets a specific need in your area. You’ll expand your world view and be able to give back through service — a win win.

Your work could be published in Civic Scholar: Phi Theta Kappa Journal of Undergraduate Research, which is distributed nationally with support from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. It’s the first journal of its kind to feature work solely by community college students.
