Berkshire Community College (BCC) has inducted 69 students into Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the national honor society of junior and community colleges. The purpose of the society is to recognize and encourage scholarship among students.
To be eligible for membership, students with freshman standing (12 to 29 credits) must have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.8 or better. Students with a sophomore standing (30 or more credits) must have achieved a cumulative average of 3.6 or better.

We’re so proud of all of our PTK students, but especially proud of those who received support through BCC’s Disability Resource Center, which represent more than 10 percent of inductees,” said Pamela Farron, Coordinator of Disability Services. The Disability Resource Center offers a variety of services to meet students’ individual needs, from accommodated course exams to assistive technology. The mission is to provide a supportive atmosphere that encourages and promotes independence.
