Beta Sigma Pi, College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), is thrilled to announce new members, Kayla Young, Abdi Mohamed, and Valerie de Wolfe, are recipients of PTK’s Golden Opportunity Scholarship. Nominated for the scholarship by their advisors, Dr. Yolonda Barnes and Liza Long, the students were among 300 community college scholarship recipients worldwide. The Golden Opportunity Scholarship is PTK’s first fee waiver designed to increase access to the benefits of membership by helping students pay for membership when they simply cannot afford it.

PTK membership offers leadership, networking, and scholarship opportunities for students, preparing them for future college and career. For more information about CWI’s Beta Sigma Pi Honor Society, contact Dr. Yolonda Barnes at yolondabarnes@cwi.edu [2] or Dr. Liza Long at lizalong@cwi.edu [3].
