厂辞耻迟丑飞别蝉迟鈥檚 (PTK) Upsilon Delta Chapter inducted a new crop of academic scholars during a candlelight ceremony at the 懂色帝's Farris Auditorium April 24, 2022. 

Family, friends and loved ones joined PTK Faculty Advisers, Dr. Melanie L. Jones and Douglas Branch, to usher in the new inductees as lifelong members of the prestigious, international honor society. 鈥淚t has been such an honor for Mr. Branch and I to work with these high-achieving students,鈥� Jones said. 鈥淲e congratulate them on their well-deserved success as stellar scholars.鈥�

Guest speaker and Director of Student Development Phoenix Worthy鈥檚 heart-felt message to the inductees reaffirmed their commitment to represent PTK as a leader and servant in their communities. 鈥淟eadership is not a position, it is an action. You are called upon to help make the world a bigger and better place through your leadership and professional skills,鈥� Worthy said. 

Worthy's words held special significance for inductee Angelina Rose who is attending 懂色帝 to earn her associate of science degree in psychology. 鈥淚 chose 懂色帝 because it is assessable and affordable for me coming from a low-income part of Memphis, and because of the small classrooms where I felt I could excel and make long-lasting connections that could help me in the future,鈥� Rose said. 鈥淧TK is prestigious. It鈥檚 a national honor society that will give me opportunities to further my leadership skills and develop even stronger connections with like-minded individuals.鈥�

Students at 懂色帝 are invited to join the chapter if they have accumulated 12 college-level credit hours toward a degree with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or higher.

Speechless. That鈥檚 what Connor Taylor described the moment when he found out he would be the next president of the PTK. 鈥淚 was so honored to get this position. I came to 懂色帝 because it鈥檚 close to home and affordable and because I felt it would be an institution where I could thrive. This recognition for me has reaffirmed that I made the right choice.鈥� 

Taylor graduated in Spring 2022 with an A.S. in psychology and plans to pursue a Doctor of Medicine. In addition to his PTK presidency, his time at 懂色帝 has earned him the privilege of being the Class of 2022 student commencement speaker and honoree at the 2022 (TBR) Phi Theta Kappa and National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) Student Honors Luncheon in Nashville, Tennessee.

Congratulations to all the inductees!
