28 to Receive Distinguished College Administrator Awards

February 14, 2022

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.”
