Lone Star College-North Harris student, Chi Cao was recently selected as the USA Today Honors Case Study Challenge Winner.
Each year, USA Today and Phi Theta Kappa honor society host a national contest for the Honors Case Study Challenge. The Challenge provides members with the opportunity to enhance their learning experiences through the use of newspapers, and by keeping up with current events. This year’s honors study topic was “The Culture of Competition.”
Participants had to select USA Today articles related to the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Study topic, and write series of case studies and essays. Cao’s winning entry entitled “Financial Crisis in Greece-A Lesson for America,” was selected as one of the four winning entries through this nationwide challenge.
Cao currently serves as the vice president of membership for the LSC-North Harris Alpha Alpha Rho chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society. In addition to the Honors Case Study Challenge Award, Cao was selected as a recipient of the 2013 Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship Award, and the 2012 Dr. Mary Hood STAR Scholarship Award. Cao has also recently been accepted into the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University.
