Phi Theta Kappa is sad to learn of the passing of Terry O'Banion, International Honorary Member of PTK and long-time former leader of the League for Innovation in the Community College.
He was a visionary leader who helped codify the modern mission of community colleges—moving it ...beyond access to include student success. He spent his life championing the practices and policies that aren’t just about getting students into college — but successfully through it to their career and educational goals.
We honor his memory and his contributions to community colleges and student success.
