[July 11, 2023]    The Heartland Community College chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society has been recognized with multiple honors.

The organization's accomplishments include receiving the prestigious Most Distinguished Honors in Action Project Award, securing the top position for the region. The Heartland chapter was recognized for their two-day speaking seminar Hawk Talks. The achievement is particularly noteworthy given the fierce competition, with the chapter competing against larger regions such as California and Texas.

In addition to the Most Distinguished Honors in Action Project Award, Heartland’s PTK chapter garnered accolades for its exceptional College Project on the regional level. The Honors in Action Project encompassed the chapter's meticulous process of formulating a research question aligned with the chosen theme, conducting extensive research, drawing insightful conclusions, and subsequently developing an event or project based on those findings.

The organization's exceptional performance across both projects led to it being honored with the coveted Outstanding Chapter Award.

The awards, which reflect the 2022 calendar year rather than the school year, signify HCC’s outstanding efforts during the Spring and Fall of 2022. Under the leadership of advisors Cristina Prestin-Beard, Jennifer Pauken, as well as students Alisa Wright (President), and Veronica Swanson (Vice President), Heartland's PTK chapter demonstrated exceptional dedication, innovation, and teamwork in executing these projects.
