Congratulations to Crystal Dosser at KPC
by Kathleen McCoy |
Crystal Dosser, a student at Kenai Peninsula College's Kachemak Bay Campus in Homer, has been named the Phi Theta Kappa New Century Scholar for Alaska. The Phi Theta Kappa's New Century Scholars represent the highest scoring students in the All-USA Academic Team for each state.
Dosser will be awarded a $2,000 scholarship funded by the Coca-Cola Foundation and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. She will be honored at the American Association of Community College's convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on April 5-7. Additionally, all New Century Scholars will be featured in the American Association of Community College's College Times and Phi Theta Kappa's Golden Key News Briefs.
Two years ago, the KPC Kenai River Campus was honored by having a New Century Scholar when Robert Bell was selected for the award. After receiving his associate's degree at KPC, Bell is now attending the University of Alaska Anchorage, pursuing his bachelor's degree in Medical Technology. Bell also served as the student commissioner to the Alaska Commission of Postsecondary Education.
Phi Theta Kappa was established in 1910 and was recognized by the American Association of Community Colleges as the official honor society for two-year colleges in 1929.
