The National Technical Honor Society at Ogeechee Technical College (OTC) recently hosted its annual induction ceremony in the Joseph E. Kennedy auditorium at the College.
At the event, 39 new members were inducted into the organization and received their official NTHS portfolios.
“I am so proud of all of these students for maintaining a minimum of a 3.25 GPA and being recommended by a faculty member for their hard work and leadership skills,” said Lisa Lanier, director for Library Services and NTHS club advisor. “I hope they will become active members in leading our NTHS Chapter during their time at OTC.”
Lanier introduced the new officers and began the candle ceremony to symbolize the seven attributes of the NTHS: skill, responsibility, honesty, scholarship, leadership, service and citizenship.
The NTHS is dedicated to recognizing excellence in career and technical education. Its mission is to honor student achievement and leadership, promote educational excellence, award scholarships and enhance career opportunities.
Students inducted into NTHS must have completed 20 semester hours or more and have maintained a 3.25 cumulative GPA or higher, have received recommendations from their instructors in addition to other criteria.
To date, NTHS has awarded nearly three million dollars in scholarships through its own Jon H. Poteat scholarship, through partnered career tech student organizations, and through an incredibly generous alumni association.
