Award-Winning Leadership!

Phi Theta Kappa Posted on February 23, 2022 by Ce RosenowFebruary 23, 2022

This year, Lane Community College has two administrators receiving prestigious awards from Phi Theta Kappa!

Congratulations to Lane Community College President, Margaret Hamilton, for winning PTK’s Michael Bennett Lifetime Achievement Award for ongoing support of Phi Theta Kappa campus chapters!

PTK explains the award: “Michael Bennett Lifetime Achievement Awards are presented to college presidents/campus CEOs at two-year institutions and state community college system directors who are retiring and have provided consistently outstanding support to Phi Theta Kappa chapters and advisors during their careers. They are named in honor of the late Dr. Michael Bennett, longtime president of St. Petersburg College in Florida. President Hamilton is one of six college presidents receiving the award this year!

Congratulations to Associate Vice President of the School of Arts and Sciences, Jennifer Frei, on receiving the Distinguished College Administrator award! Frei is one of twenty-eight administrators honored this year out of more than 230 nominated administrators.

PTK describes this award as one “presented to college vice presidents, deans, or directors serving at post-secondary institutions who have shown strong support of student success on their campus by recognizing academic achievement, leadership, and service among high-achieving students.”

The awards will be presented at PTK Catalyst in Denver in April. We are so proud of our administrators and grateful for their support of our Sigma Zeta Chapter!

CV and Academic Conferences Workshop

Phi Theta Kappa Posted on November 24, 2021 by Ce RosenowNovember 24, 2021

In October, we held a workshop for Phi Theta Kappa and Lane Honors Program members on how to create a CV and how to present at academic conferences. The workshop took place on our Discord server in the Honors voice channel. Claire Dannenbaum shared information about the University of Oregon’s Undergraduate Research Symposium coming up this spring. Erika Masaki discussed why someone might want to participate in an academic conference and what to expect at conferences. Ce Rosenow explained what a CV is and reviewed how to create one. Use the links in this post to access the materials shared during the workshop. You can also visit the University of Oregon’s website for information about their symposium. We will hold more workshops in winter and spring, including additional mentoring for presenting at conferences and creating ePortfolios.

Run for Sigma Zeta Chapter Office!

Phi Theta Kappa Posted on March 5, 2021 by Ce RosenowNovember 3, 2021

Consider running for office! We’ll hold elections early in Spring Term for next year’s officers. Holding office is a great experience that builds leadership skills and provides a good line for your resume. It’s also a fun chance to work with other students in our Sigma Zeta Chapter.

Review the list of offices and their responsibilities. 
 
You may run for as many offices as you like, but if you are elected to more than one, you will have to choose only one office to hold.
 
Send Ce Rosenow (RosenowC@lanecc.edu) the office or offices for which you are running along with a single paragraph per office explaining why you want to hold that office and what skills you will bring to the job.
 
Due: 5:00 pm, Friday, March 12.
