MOSES LAKE — The Big Bend Community College chapter of Phi Theta Kappa recently inducted 23 new members in the college’s winter induction ceremony.

To be eligible students must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.5 and have a recommendation from a faculty member. Students must be enrolled for at least 15 academic hours during the current semester, and must have completed at least 15 semester hours.
