The Alabama Region has 34 chapters across the state, and colleges gather each spring to recognize outstanding chapter operations. Chapter Advisor Lee Conerly stated, “Each year I am both humbled and proud to work with such outstanding students at Coastal Alabama Community College. Seeing their efforts recognized by an objective team of judges is validating for so much work that happens behind the scenes and proof that these students have persevered during turbulent times. As my service to PTK as an advisor comes to a close, I am thrilled to continue my work with the Honors and Awards Committee to keep recognizing our stellar students and advisors.” Phi Upsilon presented #AISPY: What’s Watching You? educational forum to a live audience and shared College Project best practices as well.
