Wayne Community College’s Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) chapter was recognized at the honor society’s recent regional conference.
The Upsilon Chi chapter was awarded the designation of Five Star Chapter, the highest level of achievement for a PTK chapter, at the Spring 2015 Carolinas Regional Conference in Wilmington, N.C.
The Five Star Level acknowledges the chapter’s activities on campus and in the region. PTK chapters mark five levels of engagement that progress from local, campus involvement to regional and international involvement. Chapters are recognized for the highest level in the “Five Star Chapter Plan” for which they completed all requirements in addition to completing and reporting all of the requirements of the levels below that level.
The chapter also received a Carolinas Region Service Project Participation Award and a Carolinas Region Honors in Action Project Participation Award.
Upsilon Chi members Brittany Moorhead of Smithfield and Tony Murphy of Pikeville were named to the PTK Carolinas Region Hall of Honor. Both were graduated from WCC this spring, Moorhead receiving an Associate in Science degree and Murphy earning an Associate in Applied Science in Forest Management.
The chapter’s advisors are Medical and Office Administration Department Chair Vicky Lassiter, Foreign Language Instructor Susana Garcia, and English Instructor Jeanine Callaway.

The Foundation of Wayne Community College will hold its 23rd Annual Scholarship Invitational at Walnut Creek Country Club in Goldsboro with a practice round, dinner, and live and silent auctions on June 9 and play on June 10. Funds raised go to scholarships for students at the college.
Last year’s tournament exceeded organizers’ expectations, bringing in $150,000 and taking the total for its 22 years to over $1 million. It funded more than 200 scholarships in the 2014-2015 academic year.
More than 60 businesses and individuals has signed on as sponsors of the 2015 tournament at six financial levels. The corporate sponsor for the past 7 years has been Jackson and Sons Heating and Air Conditioning. There are still sponsorship opportunities available for this year’s event.
