SHELTON STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE PHI THETA KAPPA CHAPTER HONORED
Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Shelton State’s Alpha Epsilon Iota chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) was
honored at the recent Alabama Regional Convention. The Convention, held this year in Huntsville,
Alabama, provides opportunities to collaborate with other PTK chapters, attend educational seminars,
and celebrate chapter and individual achievements within the organization.
The Alpha Epsilon Iota chapter was acknowledged for attaining Five-Star status. This achievement
involves a year-long commitment to the hallmarks of PTK, completion of a College Project and an
Honors in Action Project, taking a leadership role on the regional level, and planning and meeting
chapter goals and objectives. The chapter was one of five to receive a “Distinguished Officer Team
Award,” with recognition going to students Chloe Tilley, Dana Hurst, Walker Davis, Sam Hart, Drew
Black, and Luke Seale. Additionally, Dr. Kevin L. Windham was one of two advisors to receive an
“Advisor Paragon Award.”
“We are able to grow and receive these awards because of the continued support of our College,”
Windham said.
Currently in its enrollment period, Shelton State’s PTK chapter is open to full-time or part-time
students who have earned a 3.5 cumulative grade point average and have complete twelve credit hours
in an associate’s degree program. For more information, email Kevin Windham at
