Solano Community College Superintendent-President To Receive Shirley B. Gordon Award and PTK Named Five-Star Chapter
On April 20-22, the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society will recognize six college presidents with the Shirley B. Gordon Award of Distinction during PTK Catalyst 2023, the Society's annual convention.
The award recognizes college presidents who have shown support for high-achieving students and developing student leaders on campus, leading to stronger pathways to completion, transfer, and employment.
The Solano Community College (SCC) Beta Mu Gamma chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society nominated SCC Superintendent-President Celia Esposito-Noy, Ed.D. The Students of this PTK chapter chose President Esposito-Noy in recognition of her ongoing support and dedication to the SCC PTK chapter and its members. Additionally, the Beta Mu Gamma chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at Solano Community College, led by faculty advisors LaNae Jaimez and Michael Wyly, has been named a Five-Star Chapter, the International Honor Society's most prestigious designation.
This five-star designation marks the first time the SCC chapter has been awarded this honor. It is the culmination of a multi-year progression, beginning in 2020, when the chapter spearheaded SCC's adoption of a land acknowledgment honoring the indigenous peoples who are the original stewards of the land the college sits on. In order to become recognized as a Five-Star Chapter, SCC PTK also developed an Honors in Action Project. The SCC PTK chapter has become involved at the international level of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and its initiatives.
On March 25, Ernesto Catubig, who served in Vietnam with the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor and two Purple Hearts, and his family were all smiles after the annual National Vietnam War Veterans Day ceremony at the Vallejo Veterans Memorial Building (www.VallejoVetsBuilding.org). Vallejo Vietnam War Veterans who wish to get a Pentagon lapel pin, a presidential proclamation, bumper magnet, tin pin, etc. may contact event coordinator Nestor.Aliga@comcast.net (Photo courtesy Nestor Aliga)
