Alpha Iota Chi research published in Civic Scholar

​The College’s Alpha Iota Chi Chapter has published a research paper in the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society’s Civic Scholar. The journal features 18 research projects by community college students across the country.

Alpha Iota Chi’s work–entitled “Finding Unity in Humanity: Beginning a New Legacy of Inclusion”– examined homelessness, especially among members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The full journal is available here​ and is made possible by support from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.

​ “We all know the key to success in college is driven by student engagement,” PTK President and CEO Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner said. “These 18 projects are the very best examples of how students apply innovative research and take meaningful action on the issues they care about most on their campuses and in their communities.”

Research was conducted as part of Phi Theta Kappa’s honors program, Honors in Action, and based on the topic, To the Seventh Generation: Inheritance and Legacy. The works published in Civic Scholar include both substantive research and community engagement — chapters ultimately turned their research into action by using their findings to meet specific community needs.
