The Beta Zeta Kappa (BZK) Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) has experienced immense success this past year.

From their hard work, they were awarded the following:

The BZK Chapter is composed of students at Ivy Tech Community College - Warsaw. Their officers are President Avary Metzger, Vice President, Génesis Widick, Secretary Keely Roe, member John Spangle, and Chapter Advisors Lori Roe and Brenda Blair.

The College Project is a project created and carried out by chapter members to benefit the culture and strength of their campus. The BZK Chapter sought to increase enrollment numbers of the Warsaw Campus. The Honors In Action project follows a specific research theme. The theme this year is “The Science of Play.” The BZK Chapter researched the impact that play has on stress levels of students. They did this by hosting game nights and other opportunities for students to decrease stress levels during finals week.

Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa has a presence on almost 1,300 community college campuses in 11 nations. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) recognized Phi Theta Kappa as the official honor society for two-year colleges in 1929. More than 3.8 million students have been inducted since 1918, with approximately 250,000 active members in the nation’s community colleges, making Phi Theta Kappa a true catalyst among members and colleges.
