Two CLC students named to Phi Theta Kappa All-Minnesota Academic Team

Two Central Lakes College students were recently selected to be a part of the Phi Theta Kappa All-Minnesota Academic Team.

The students, Brooke Moren and Elliot Amick, are both members of the Phi Theta Kappa chapter at CLC.

The All-Minnesota Academic Team honors students for their leadership, academic achievement, and community and college service.

Phi Theta Kappa is the premier honor society recognizing the academic achievement of community college students to grow as scholars and leaders. The Society is made up of more than 3.2 million members and nearly 1,300 chapters in nine nations.
