Scranton, PA May 10, 2013 – Johnson College is once again celebrating its students for hitting high marks by celebrating their inclusion into two major national honor societies. 38 students were honored during a ceremony on Friday May 10^th for both the Chi Alpha Epsilon National Honor Society and The Alpha Beta Kappa National Honor Society.

Alpha Beta Kappa (ABK) is the premier national collegiate honor society for trades and essential occupations. The society honors excellence not only in classroom, but shop, studio, and laboratory study. Students must also rank in the upper ten percent of their graduating class.

Chi Alpha Epsilon (XAE) recognizes the academic achievements of college students that focus on hands on learning. Students have to maintain a 3.0 GPA, demonstrate how they give back to their community and help develop their campus community through social events.
