Remembering Dr. Shirley Gordon

A tribute page honoring Dr. Shirley Gordon has been posted on the Phi Theta Kappa website. Dr. Gordon, a dedicated educator and the longest-serving Chairman of the Phi Theta Kappa Board of Directors, died September 20 in Burien, Washington.

"We have lost a great leader, and now must march forward without her. Let us walk with confidence, armed with all that Dr. Shirley Gordon taught us," said Phi Theta Kappa's Executive Director, Rod Risley.

A program celebrating Dr. Gordon's life and accomplishments was held October 4 on the campus of Highline College, which Dr. Gordon helped establish and later served as the college president. Executive Director Risley; current Highline President Dr. Jack Bermingham; former Phi Theta Kappa National President and current Highline faculty member Terry Sell; and Dr. Gordon's longtime friend Virgil Staiger were among participants.

Visit the tribute page to learn more about Dr. Gordon's life and career, and to read remarks from educational leaders and Phi Theta Kappa constituents, and post comments.

A photo gallery and information about memorial gifts in Dr. Gordon's honor are also available on the tribute page.
