Professor of English Kurt Meyer recently received a pin from the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honors Society acknowledging his 20 years of service as IVC’s PTK Chapter Advisor. IVC President John Hernandez and Dean of Liberal Arts Brooke Bui surprised Professor Meyer with the pin last month.
The Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honors Society offers community college students opportunities for academic recognition, leadership development, scholarships, and community service. By joining, students can connect with others, build their resumes, and access resources that help them transfer to four-year universities or succeed in their careers.
Professor Meyer taught at Cal State Long Beach, Orange Coast College, and Fullerton City College before coming to IVC in 1997. He received his B.A. and M.A. in English from Cal State Long Beach where he was named, “Outstanding English Graduate.”
