Four students were inducted into Phi Theta Kappa at Northwest Iowa Community College in Sheldon on Dec. 2. Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society of the two-year college. NCC's chapter is called Beta Lambda Pi.
The new PTK members are Brandi Fuerstenberg, of Sheldon; Addison Lincoln, of Fort Dodge; Mercedes Rahm, of Algona; and Chad Salaets, of Hartley. Returning PTK members are Benjamin Chrisman, of Sheldon; and Lindsey Cundiff, of Pocahontas.
Students were invited to be a part of Phi Theta Kappa based on eligibility requirements that center on having a 3.5 grade point average. Dr. John Hartog, Vice President-Student and Academic Services, and Laura Nachtigal, Executive Assistant and Board Secretary, are sponsors for the group.
