Held on Nov. 17 in Myers Auditorium on SCC’s Jackson Campus in Sylva, the fall National Technical Honor Society ceremony was an opportunity to honor the accomplishments of 66 inductees. They all hold at least a 3.5 Grade Point Average, were nominated by a teaching faculty member and rank among the top 20 percent of active students in their respective programs.
“It takes a lot of hard work to gain entry into our chapter of the National Technical Honor Society, so these students and their families have a lot to feel good about,” said Dr. Thom Brooks, SCC’s Executive Vice President for Instruction and Student Services. “We’re extremely proud of every one of these students.”
