Edison
State Students Inducted to Honor Society
Sixteen new members were inducted to the Edison State Community College
Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) during a ceremony on Wednesday, April
12 at the Piqua Campus. Each semester, students are invited to join the
honor society based upon academic criteria.
The Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society was established in 1918 to recognize
and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and
provide opportunities for individual growth and development through
honors, leadership, and service programming.
New inductees include Charity Barnes of Ansonia, McKenna Bollinger of
Troy, Kari Clements of Troy, Matt Collett of Piqua, Michelle Collett of
Piqua, Jonathon Holman of Greenville, Carrie Kautz of Greenville,
Sierra Keller of Greenville, Amanda Mitchell of Sidney, Mary Mohr of
Union, Jacquelynn Roediger of Sidney, Joshua Ruff of Dayton, Ayoub
Samari of Sidney, Samuel Schulze of Fairborn, Penny Stallard of Tipp
City, and Melissa Tucker of Troy.
During the ceremony, Associate Professor of English William Loudermilk
recognized the candidates for their academic achievements.
“We welcome, congratulate, and are proud of our newly inducted,
well-deserving members,” said Loudermilk.
Each semester, the Student Leadership Committee selects a member of the
Edison State faculty or staff to honor during the ceremony. This
semester, Andrea Francis, Marketing Communications Specialist, was
commended for supporting community outreach goals put forth by Edison
State’s PTK.
“It is a privilege to be honored,” said Francis. “The work that these
students are doing to support communities throughout the region is
tremendous and I’m happy to help them reach their goals.”
Recognized by the American Association of Community Colleges as the
official honor society for two-year colleges, Phi Theta Kappa is the
largest honor society in American higher education with more than 2.5
million members and 1,275 chapters.
