Denmark Technical College Students Attend Regional Award Conference

Denmark Technical College was one of three Technical Colleges in South Carolina to host the 2007 Phi-Theta Kappa Carolina Region Awards Conference, which was held in Greenville, South Carolina. The conference recognizes the achievements of Phi-Theta Kappa Chapters of two year Colleges.

Denmark Technical College students Vicki Allen, Office Systems Technology Major; Anthony Braye, Computer Technology Major; Rochelle Link, Human Services Major; Erica Oliver, Office Systems Technology Major; and Khadidra Washington, Associate in Arts Major, was accompanied by Mrs. Michelle McDowell, Executive Dean of Student Services at Denmark Technical College, and Phi-Theta Kappa advisors, Alzena Robinson and John Bennett.

Phi Theta Kappa, the largest honor society, serves to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and provide opportunities for individual growth and development.  Phi-Theta Kappa Members are also nominated for inclusion in the National Dean’s List, a prestigious publication of outstanding students in two-year, four-year, and graduate   degree programs.

The students received four group awards: A Five-Star Award in the highest category, which recognizes chapter progress toward service goals; A Four Clover Chapter Award, for outstanding project service; A Carolina Super Stars award, which recognizes outstanding performance in Phi-Theta Kappa; and A Scholarship Hallmark Award for outstanding performance in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship.

Vickie Allen received the Carolinas Hall of Honor Award for outstanding participation in service activities. Ms. Alzena Robinson and Mr. John Bennett were recipients of the Horizon Award, which is presented to new advisors who participate in regional and international programs.  Denmark Technical College also received Honorable Mention for being named Most Improved Chapter.

“This is the second year that Denmark Technical College participated in the Awards Program for Phi-Theta Kappa. The students worked tirelessly to provide services to faculty, staff, students and the local community. We are proud of their achievements and encourage them to continue their service to the community,” said Carolyn Fennell, Chief Academic Officer at Denmark Technical College.

The students received awards based on their development and involvement in various service activities. In July 2006, the students participated in a project named “Operation Green: Improving Our Communities,” in which they partnered with the Community Pride Project and held a Community Clean-up in Bamberg, South Carolina. They designed and distributed flyers to promote the event. The students also planned and implemented a Voter Registration Drive on the Denmark Tech Campus. The purpose was to engage students in the importance of participating in the electoral process by registering to vote. They were   successful in registering 25 students.

“Phi-Theta Kappa gave me the opportunity to not only learn many new things, but changed my point of view to realize that helping others families is important,” said Erica Oliver.

During the conference, four members were inducted in the Alumni Chapter of Phi-Theta Kappa. They will continue their services upon graduation at Denmark Technical College. Students inducted were: Vicki Allen, Anthony Braye, Rochelle Link, and Erica Oliver.
