PTK Officers Honored

Jefferson State’s Phi Theta Kappa Chapter Honored for Distinguished Officer Team

The Officer Team of Jefferson State’s Shelby-Hoover Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society will
be honored with the 2014 Distinguished Chapter Officer Team Award during Nerd Nation 2014, the annual Phi Theta Kappa Convention in Orlando, Florida, April 24-26. Recipients will receive commemorative medallions and be honored during the Hallmark Awards Gala.

Distinguished Chapter Officer Teams must be nominated by their chapter advisors through the Hallmark Awards application process, and are chosen based on the team’s demonstration of an exceptional atmosphere of teamwork, leadership abilities, promotion of Honors in Action, other engagement in the Society, and enthusiasm for the Hallmarks of the Society (Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Fellowship). Jefferson State’s Beta Lambda Delta officers were selected by a panel of judges from more than 200 nominees internationally.

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, is the largest honor society in higher education with 1,285 chapters on college campuses in all 50 of the United States, plus Canada, Germany, the Republic of Palau, Peru, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the British Virgin Islands, the United Arab Emirates and U.S. territorial possessions. Nearly 3 million students have been inducted since its founding in 1918, with approximately 131,000 students inducted annually.
