Macon County Southwestern Community College students celebrated their academic accomplishments with family and friends during a dual ceremony for the Alpha Beta Gamma and National Technical Honor Societies on April 9 at the Jackson Campus.
To be eligible for membership into Alpha Beta Gamma, students must be enrolled in a qualifying business-related program, have completed at least 12 hours of college-level academic credit during the previous three semesters, have a program GPA of 3.0 or higher, demonstrate ideals of scholarship, leadership and cooperation and be nominated by a program faculty member.
For the National Technical Honor Society, students must have completed 12 hours of academic coursework with at least a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for membership. They must be nominated by a teaching faculty member and rank among the top 20 percent of active students in their respective programs.
Students from Macon County, pictured below from left, are:
- Back row: Gracie Norris, Ixcel Soriano-Aguilar, Yuritza Lopez-Santoz , and Elizabeth Puckett. All of Franklin.

A total of 67 SCC students where inducted in the organizations.
“These students represent just two percent of our student body,” said Dr. Barbara Putman, Vice President of Instruction and Student Services at SCC. “Clearly, they have worked extremely hard to earn induction into one —or both— of these honor societies.”
