ADVISOR AWARDS

Advisors are recognized for significant contributions to the growth of individual members, service as the chapter’s advocate on campus, and encouragement of the chapter to be involved on the local, regional, and/or international level of the organization. Advisor Awards include a team award and three individual categories based on the length of service and previous recognition.

Advisor Emeritus Awards

The Advisor Emeritus Award honors retiring advisors with at least 10 years of service who have provided extraordinary service to Phi Theta Kappa and have been nominated by constituents. The award is not an automatic recognition of time served, but an honor rarely conferred by the Association of Chapter Advisors.
