2006 PTK All-Florida Academic Team Announced

I am pleased to announce that the 2006 Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) All-Florida Academic Team has been named. This year’s Team includes 112 students representing 27 of Florida’s public community colleges and one independent two-year college.

This distinction is bestowed upon these students in recognition of their academic achievement, leadership, and service to the community. They will be honored at a reception and awards ceremony in Tallahassee, Florida, on Wednesday, April 5, 2006. Additionally, they will be recognized by the Florida Legislature and other state leaders at the Capitol on Thursday, April 6, 2006. Invitations and details of those events will be mailed directly to the College Presidents and to students named to the 2006 All-Florida Academic Team.

The All-Florida Academic Team is composed of all those students who were nominated by their respective colleges to the All-USA Academic Team competition sponsored by USA Today and PTK International Honor Society. We will be notified in late February if any of our Florida students are named to the 2006 All-USA Academic Team.
