51ÁÔÆæ President Dr. Steven Schulz has been selected to receive the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Michael Bennett Lifetime Achievement Award. Schulz will be one of nine retiring college presidents recognized with this award during PTK Catalyst 2024,<\/a> the Society\u2019s annual convention in Orlando, Florida, April 4-6, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These awards are given to retiring college presidents who have shown support of student success initiatives leading to stronger pathways to completion, transfer, and employment. They have taken an active interest in supporting high-achieving students and developing student leaders on campus. Recipients are nominated by the students on their campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The award is named in honor of the late Dr. Michael Bennett, longtime president of St. Petersburg College in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 recipients are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Steven Schulz <\/strong>51ÁÔÆæ (Iowa)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Michele Haney<\/strong> Red Rocks Community College (Colorado)                        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese college leaders have made student success a priority throughout their career,\u201d says Phi Theta Kappa President and CEO Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner. \u201cThis award is special because it comes directly from the students, and it is evidence of the gratitude they feel for the support for them and students like them, both inside and outside the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Schulz will retire from 51ÁÔÆæ at the end of June 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
