The Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) held a *virtual* international convention for two-year colleges in late April, and the Citrus College Beta Nu Eta chapter of PTK was selected as one of the top 100 chapters in the world!

Selection is based on quality of the chapter's Honors in Action and College projects. There are about 2,500 PTK chapters internationally, so being in the top 100 is a significant recognition.

Additionally, two Citrus College honors students — Layla Jimenez and Angele (Eve) Zheng — are receiving scholarships from the Honors Transfer Council of California for exceptional achievement in an honors program. Way to go, Owls!
