Ashley Poynter Joins PTK

2013 May 1

Ashley Poynter of Martinsville, a student at Patrick Henry Community College, was recently inducted into Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the national honor society for two-year college students.

During the April 26, 2013 induction ceremony, PHCC President Dr. Angeline Godwin was the guest speaker. A reception was catered by the PHCC dual enrollment culinary students.

The purpose of PTK is to recognize and encourage scholarship, to provide opportunities for leadership and service, and to foster an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas. Members must be enrolled in a degree program at the college, have accumulated at least 12 credits in a curricula program, and have achieved a grade-point average of at least 3.5 with 12 credits or 3.2 with 24 credits. Members must have also established academic excellence as judged by the faculty and be of good moral character with recognized qualities of citizenship. Active membership is by invitation.

The Psi Phi Chapter of PTK was chartered at PHCC in 1972.

Poynter is among 43 students inducted during the 2013 Spring Semester.
