(Columbia, MO) – Crowder College had two students recognized as Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) All-Missouri Academic team members: Emma Giebler (Neosho) and Payton Wilson (Greenfield). The students received a medal and certificate and a cash award.
“As a faculty advisor for Crowder College’s Phi Theta Kappa chapter, we would like to express our appreciation to the Missouri Community College Association for hosting this award luncheon. We would also like to congratulate our recipients and note that those chosen for this distinction are selected based on their leadership, academic accomplishments, contributions to the college and community service work.” Stated Suzanne Prior, PTK Advisor
Phi Theta Kappa is the national honor society for associate degree-granting colleges. Crowder College chapter XiXi was established in 1965. To become a member of PTK as student must earn at least a 3.5 grade point average while attending full-time, 12 or more hours. Students meeting the requirements are then sent an invitation to join the organization. One of the major benefits of PTK besides the recognition, is the scholarship opportunities.
About Crowder College:
Crowder College was established in April 1963, as the voters of Newton and McDonald counties passed the issue to create a community college (formerly junior college) on the land formerly known as Camp Crowder. Today, the college provides services to a nine-county service region in southwest Missouri with locations in Neosho, Cassville, Joplin, McDonald County, Nevada and Webb City. The student population exists from within the four-state region, and around the globe. With over 80 degree and program options, the college is a great place to train for a career or transfer to a university.
