This past weekend (July 16-July 18), the Phi Theta Kappa advisers and various Phi Theta Kappa student members of MCC-Blue River, MCC-Longview, and MCC-Maple Woods attended the organization’s regional conference in Sedalia, Mo.
It was an engaging, lively time, and it set a great tone for our upcoming school year. As a refreshing start to the year, MCC-Longview PTK adviser Jan Rog said the weekend conference was also a chance for campus leaders to showcase some of their talents – especially MCC-Longview student Kristine Vainovska.
Vainovska, an international student from Latvia, was awarded the Missouri Leaders of Promise scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to three dedicated PTK students throughout the state.
“This really is such an honor for me,” Vainovska said. “It’s humbling to be recognized like this for the work I have done with PTK.”
To even be eligible for the scholarship, the students must maintain a GPA of 3.25 and be a member in good standing through PTK.
Vainovska graduated from Hickman Mills High School where she was an exchange student. She stayed in the United States to attend college at MCC-Longview where she is getting her general education degree. In the Spring she plans to graduate and transfer to Northwest Missouri State University.
