Six Phi Theta Kappa Chapter Advisors Win 2008 Mosal Scholarships

Six Phi Theta Kappa chapter advisors have been chosen to receive 2008 Mosal Awards, which carry stipends of $5,000 each for professional development and are considered the highest award given by the Society to chapter advisors.

Mosal Scholarships for 2008 were presented to the six recipients during the Society's recent International Convention held April 3-5 in Philadelphia.

The 2008 Mosal Scholars, and their projects, are Sharon A. Fox, St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley, Missouri, for "A Healing Journey: Exploring Eastern Health Practice"; Sharon Gusky, Northwestern Connecticut Community College, for "More than Just Kangaroos: Experiencing Australia's Biodiversity"; Dr. Peter J. Pellegrin, Cloud County Community College, Geary County Campus, Kansas, for "The Implementation of Native American Traditions into the Roman Catholic Liturgy"; Judy Ryan, Fresno City College, California, and Nevada/California Regional Coordinator, for "The Art of Autobiography: Gathering, Analyzing, Teaching, Writing"; Dr. Donna J. Singleton, Reading Area Community College, Pennsylvania, for "Exploring Creativity across Disciplines: The Teacher as Student of Composition and Art"; and Jeffery Scott Wooters, Pensacola Junior College, Florida, for "Researching Nesting Success in Hawksbill Sea Turtles on the Great Barrier Reef."

The Mosal Awards are named for the Society's late Executive Director Emeritus, Dr. Margaret Mosal.

Phi Theta Kappa Advisors with at least three years of service prior to the 2009 International Convention may apply for 2009 Mosal Awards. Applications should be available in the late fall.
