Central Piedmont’s Phi Lambda Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa has two students who have been selected as 2023 Coca-Cola Academic Team Scholars.

  • Ashton Leswing, Gold Scholar, will receive a $1500 scholarship
  • Letrell Grady, Bronze Scholar, will receive a $1000 scholarship

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation sponsors the Coca-Cola Academic Team program by recognizing nationally 50 Gold, 50 Silver, and 50 Bronze Scholars with nearly $200,000 in scholarships annually. Each scholar also receives a commemorative medallion.

Students are nominated for the academic team by their college administrators. More than 2,400 were submitted for this year from the US. Selection is based on academic achievement, leadership, and engagement in college and community service. This program is sponsored by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and is administered by Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

The Phi Lambda chapter has also been named a 2022 REACH Chapter for membership development.

Congratulations to the scholars and the chapter for their success!

Congratulations to the Newest Members of Phi Theta Kappa!

Congratulations to the newest members of the Phi Lambda Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa international honor society. Our Phi Lambda chapter at Central Piedmont held an in-person Induction Ceremony on Monday, Nov. 22 in the Halton Theater at Central Campus.

We were thrilled to celebrate with the students who joined us to cross the stage. The ceremony included new members from the fall 2021 induction class, as well as students from previous semesters who had been recognized with Spring 2021 Phi Theta Kappa Induction Ceremony videos during COVID considerations.

Students who are eligible for membership with Phi Theta Kappa have completed at least 12 curriculum credit hours at Central Piedmont and maintain a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA. To date, 233 students have become new members of the Phi Lambda chapter for the fall 2021 semester. Members who joined by Nov. 21 were included in the printed program linked below. Students who are eligible to join Phi Theta Kappa this semester may continue to accept membership through Dec. 31, 2021. The Phi Lambda chapter will invite eligible students into membership again starting in February 2022.

Thank you to Dr. Heather Hill and Dr. Tracy Moore for joining chapter advisors Dr. Beau Bowers and Jennifer Conway on stage to help celebrate our inductees. We appreciate that we were able to livestream the ceremony for family and guests to watch socially distanced. Students who were able to attend crossed the stage, signed their name in our record book, and were given a scroll and commemorative pen.
