Gamma Beta Phi Inducts New Members, Gives Back to Community | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    WASHINGTON, N.C.     Some students will have special cords draped around their necks this week as they graduate. The cords show their dedication to community and academics through their participation in Gamma Beta Phi, the honor society at Beaufort County Community College. The group inducted new members into its organization on April 11. Members have to be presently enrolled at BCCC and must be committed to excellence in education, to good character and to service.

The Jambalaya Fest brought in over $500. They secured scholarships for a number of transfer students, increased awareness of college and university programs and transfer opportunities and held a new Annual Year-End Intellectual but Fun Movie and Wings Night where they screened and discussed the historical movie Hidden Figures.
