Edison Students
Receive High Honors
Two Edison Community College students have been named to the 2015 Phi
Theta Kappa (PTK) All-Ohio Academic Team. Kerrie Josefovsky of Piqua
and Lucas Purdin of Greenville have been selected as two of this year’s
fifty-one statewide recipients.
To be eligible for the All-Ohio Academic Team, students are first
nominated by their college president and must be eligible for
graduation during the current academic year while holding a minimum
3.25 GPA. Winners are chosen on the foundation of academic performance,
demonstration of leadership, and community service involvement.
Both Josefovsky and Purdin were named to the All-Ohio Academic Third
Team and received cash scholarships of $250 and medallions,
certificates, and pins made possible through the generosity of Honda of
America Manufacturing, Inc.
Ms. Josefovsky is currently working toward an Associate of Art degree
at Edison and is set to graduate in May. Upon graduating, she plans to
attend the University of Dayton to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Early
Childhood Education.
Mr. Purdin is currently working toward becoming a Physical Therapist
Assistant at Edison and will enter the workforce upon graduating.
“It is really quite an honor for two Edison Community College students
to be named to the All-Ohio Third Team,” said Beka Lindeman, English
Professor and PTK Advisor. “This is a big accomplishment for both
Kerrie and Lucas. We are proud of their achievement.”
A special ceremony was held to recognize the All-Ohio Academic Teams in
Columbus at the Statehouse Atrium. The All-Ohio Academic Team is
co-sponsored by the Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC) and
Phi Theta Kappa (PTK).
