LCC HONOR STUDENTS AND LEADERS BRING HOME TOP AWARDS
EUGENE, OR - Lane Community College's president, vice president, and honor students flew home from with numerous awards from the Phi Theta Kappa annual conference held April 3-5 in Philadelphia. PTK is the international honor society for two-year colleges.
President Mary Spilde was awarded a Shirley B. Gordon Award of Distinction and Vice President for Instruction and Student Services Sonya Christian was awarded a Distinguished Administrator Award. Chapter Advisor Velda Arnaud was awarded the Paragon Award for New Advisors for the third year in a row.
Arnaud says Lane's Sigma Zeta chapter did exceptionally well. "Our chapter received the Scholarship Hallmark Award, and we were listed for the second year in a row as one of the top 100 chapters. Even better, we were listed as a Distinguished Chapter. The Distinguished Chapters are the top 25, so we are very proud of that accomplishment." In addition, Dee Lauzon, student president of Lane's PTK chapter, was elected as International Vice President of Division IV.
