Central Arizona College Students Inducted into Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society This Spring
By Angela Askey, Executive Director Public Relations and Marketing
During the 2026 spring semester, 100 Central Arizona College students were inducted into Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the largest international honor society of two-year colleges. Students being inducted to PTK have earned a 3.5 GPA or higher. These students were recognized during a ceremony earlier this month.
Heather Moulton, PTK Advisor and Professor of English was recognized for earning the International Distinguished Advisor Award at the PTK Catalyst Convention held in Baltimore, MD in March. This award is an international honor presented by Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) to recognize outstanding chapter advisors who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, mentorship, and dedication to guiding PTK members. It celebrates advisors who go above and beyond to encourage academic excellence, leadership development, and community engagement among their chapter members. Nominations are submitted by students and chapters, and they are typically evaluated on categories such as student growth and development, chapter growth, local impact, and the quality of the nomination.
