Coffeyville Community College student Karen Stoehr has been named a Silver Scholar on the Coca-Cola 2014 Community College Academic Team. Stoehr earned the award from her performance on the All-USA Community College Academic Team competition which had more than 1,700 applications this year.
“Karen has worked incredibly hard and has mentored several of our chapter members,” said Eta Gamma Advisor Linda McFate. “She has provided servant leadership for the Etta Gamma Chapter and the judges could not have selected a more deserving member.”
Stoehr will be recognized at the International Phi Theta Kappa Convention in April at Orlando, Florida. She will receive a silver medallion and a check for $1250.
