INVOLVEMENT
This is an overview of the different honor societies and organizations that I have been involved with while pursuing my education.

phi theta kappa honor society (ptk)
Alumni Member
I have been a Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) member since I was enrolled in community college. This is an exclusive honor society for 2-year college students, with a GPA of 3.7 and above.
This honor society was extremely welcoming and great to be a part of a legacy. I had no idea that my sisters were also in PTK until I received the invitation. It is always a great honor to be recognized for your achievements.

National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS)
Alumni Member
I originally joined this honor society in 2017 when I was still attending community college. I was excited to be invited by another organization, especially one that is involved in doing volunteer work. I have always enjoyed giving back to the community, and even thought I don't do it as much as I used to, it is still something I believe strongly in.

Monarch LEAD – Comprehensive Leadership Program
Emerging Leader
I found out about the Monarch LEAD Program through an announcement sent by ODU. After reading more about the program on the website, I was intrigued by the Leadership Lecture Series (LLS). I didn't think too much of it at first, but being able to interact with successful leaders, in real-time, and ask questions is amazing. It can be really hard to network, and this was a great opportunity to get advice on important factors.
