Last fall, the Midland College (MC) Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society nominated Renee
Aldrin as a Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Distinguished Administrator. Aldrin is the chancellor
of Early College High School at Midland College (ECHS@MC). On Monday, February 7,
PTK International President and CEO Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner notified Aldrin that she
had been selected for this prestigious honor.
The award is given to administrators who have shown outstanding support of student
success and who work to mentor and develop student leaders.
“Racial and political unrest, and a global pandemic made 2021 one of the most challenging
years in recent history—one that Ms. Aldrin worked exceptionally hard to overcome,”
Tincher-Ladner wrote in a letter. “Her nomination is evidence of the gratitude that
the Midland College PTK students feel for her support—even during the most difficult
times.”
Phi Theta Kappa is the oldest, largest and most prestigious honor society servicing
two-year colleges around the world. Membership is based on superior academic achievements
and is conferred only by invitation to students who have a minimum 3.5 grade point
average. The international organization is composed of over 1,400 chapters.
“Many of our student leaders are members of PTK, and many PTK members are ECHS@MC
students,” Dr. Steve Thomas, MC President said. “Renee does a wonderful job to foster
student academic success and leadership skills. She is also a great role model for
students and is very deserving of this special recognition.”
