Edison
State Students Inducted to PTK Honor Society
Fourteen new members were inducted to the Edison State Community
College Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) during a ceremony on
Wednesday, November 8 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: Brock Barga, Alexis Bylczynski, Michael
Dilworth, Tyler Fickert, Phillip Green, Erica Hicks, Miraya Hinten,
Sarah Hubbard, Christy Hughes, Isatou Kassama, Audrey McWhorter, Julia
Mellott, Kayley Ruschau, Jessica Stayton, and Brandon Ward.
During the ceremony, Associate Provost Mona Walters recognized the
candidates for their academic achievements.
“The Phi Theta Kappa Key is your privilege to the future of success,”
Walters said to the inductees. “Be proud of your accomplishments and
all that you have earned so that you can emerge as a confident leader.”
“It is always exciting to induct a new group into PTK,” said Beka
Lindeman, Assistant Professor and PTK Advisor. “We get to welcome some
of our best students into our honor society and meet the family and
friends who have supported them along way. It is a proud moment to see
what our students have accomplished.”
“Membership provides active students with outstanding leadership
training, service opportunities, and the eligibility to apply for
hundreds of thousands of dollars in continuing and transfer
scholarships,” added William Loudermilk, Associate Professor and PTK
Advisor.
Each semester, the Student Leadership Committee selects a member of the
Edison State faculty or staff to honor during the ceremony. This
semester, Karen Baker Academic Project Specialist for Arts and Sciences
was commended for providing outstanding service to the students of
Edison State.
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.
