Timothy Van Fossen
President
" I began my journey doubting my worthiness of recognition for my work. PTK and Honors have proven me wrong, revealing that I am truly deserving of this honor! "
Abigail Fanning
Vice-President of Scholarship
"I joined PTK to gain experience in academic research and service implementation. As a student, I enjoy giving back to Northeast State and the Tri-Cities through helping my peers and community succeed. When I heard about the opportunity to become a PTK officer, I applied for it!"
Mia Nagai
Vice-President of Service
"I didn't think I'd join extracurriculars because I'm not as good at speaking out and working with a team like most people, but joining PTK really helped me build valuable connections."
Solana Hosburgh
Vice President of Fellowship
“I never thought I would do well enough in college to participate in PTK, but now I’m motivated to serve and research with my team.”
Stephanie Bolden
Co-Vice President of Communication
“I am so excited and determined to show people the joy of participating in PTK!”
Griffin Sutton
Co-Vice President of
Communication
"One thing I like about PTK is the community and equality experienced by all members. I have spent most of my educational time working alone and never being part of a team. With PTK, everyone is treated with respect and kindness as we all work towards the same objectives."
Shanna Holt
Honors in Action Chair
"I’m interested in helping people and finding creative ways to give back to my school and my community. When I heard about the Honors in Action project, I knew PTK was the place for me!"
Kymber Hooven
College Project Chair
"Being involved in PTK has helped boost my self worth as well as provide me with a real sense of purpose as I am actively helping others to succeed in their college journey."
