Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) will recognize 28 college administrators with Distinguished College Administrator Awards during PTK Catalyst 2022, the Society’s annual convention in Denver, Colorado, April 7-9. 

The award recognizes college administrators working directly with student leaders to solve problems on campus and in their communities. They have taken an active interest in supporting high-achieving students and developing student leaders. “These college administrators are beloved on campus—they know students by name and by circumstance,” says Phi Theta Kappa President and CEO Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner. “Their nomination is evidence of the gratitude their PTK students feel for supporting them and students like them—even during the most difficult times.”
