PTK honors adviser

Phi Theta Kappa, the national honor society for community colleges, has recognized Nancy Smith of Central Lakes College for 10 years of service as adviser of the Upsilon Omega chapter at CLC. The 10-year service award from the PTK Center for Excellence is an expression of gratitude to such an adviser -- "the lifeblood of our organization," said Rod A. Risley, executive director. In a letter to Dr. Larry Lundblad, CLC president, Risley urged the college community to "consider how valuable a strong chapter can be...with your support, your chapter can become a recruitment vehicle to attract high school honor students." PTK's Honors in Action initiatives promote intellectual challenge and service learning as a foundation for student development.
