Four honor societies at Black Hawk College have welcomed new members this spring. Alpha Beta Gamma, Delta Alpha Pi, Psi Beta, and Sigma Kappa Delta recently held a joint induction ceremony for students from both the Quad-Cities and East campuses. The new inductees represent a range of academic excellence in business, psychology, English, and among students with disabilities. Names like Margaret Kernan, Will Rumbold, Anna Lance, and Taylor Folsom stood out as honorees recognized for their achievements. The induction marks a proud moment for these students and the college community. Ceremony photos are available on Black Hawk College’s Facebook page.
