Kilgore College Phi Theta Kappa inducts 146 new members
The Gamma Omicron Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society at Kilgore College installed 146 new members during a ceremony March 23 on the Kilgore campus.
PTK is the international honor society for two-year colleges, and includes more than two million students and 1,200 chapters at community colleges worldwide. More than 85,000 students are inducted annually.
The organization promotes leadership, scholarship, service and fellowship.
Membership is open to any student who has earned 12 semester hours and has a grade point average of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale.
Guest speaker Linda Fullman, owner of Fullman & Lawrence Insurance Agency, congratulated the inductees, encouraging active participation both on and off campus.
”I challenge you to become a doer and not become a benchwarmer,” Fullman said. “Life will present many opportunities to become indifferent, many distractions that allow you to passively sit on the sidelines of life. I challenge you to get into the game.”
Becky Johnson, KC’s dean of Arts and Sciences, delivered the welcome remarks and introduced the new PTK advisors for the 2023-2024 academic year: Curtis Ivory (biology instructor) and Kate Yglesias (government instructor).
Advisers of KC’s Gamma Omicron Chapter of PTK are Brandon Walker, math instructor; and Lori Truman, English instructor.
For more information, contact Walker at (903) 988-7509 or Truman at (903) 983-8694.
