Epsilon Pi Tau Honor SocietyPublished: 5/25/2010 Clark State Community College celebrated the installation and charter initiation of the Delta Iota Chapter of Epsilon Pi Tau, an international honor society for professions in technology on May 26, 2010. Twenty-two students and seventeen members of the staff and faculty were inducted as part of the chapter installation ceremony.
