Awards
At the Regional Convention held each March, the New England Region of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society acknowledges the chapters, members, and advisors who have been most successful in a variety of areas throughout the year. Most awards are judged by Phi Theta Kappa International and/or the New England Region, while the arts awards are judged by our sponsoring partner, the Savannah College of Art & Design.
