The Honors Study Topic for 2004-2006, Popular Culture: Shaping and Reflecting Who We Are, is the most important aspect of the comprehensive Phi Theta Kappa program for student development. Though the leadership, service, and fellowship dimensions are very important, the development of forums for intellectual stimulation is stressed above all others. Therefore, we offer the challenge to take this honors topic and adapt it to the medium of photography. Read more about it.
