Alpha Mu Chi, Northeast Texas Community College’s chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, successfully campaigned for the Texas Region District III Vice-President position at the regional convention earlier this spring. After the chapter won the position, Jacob Lambie was chosen to represent the chapter as Vice President.
“I’m very honored and excited to serve the east Texas region for the upcoming year, I know that great things are coming,” Lambie said.
He began his year in office by driving to Tyler Junior College on March 25 to speak at their induction ceremony. On March 29 he spoke at Kilgore College’s induction ceremony. He will also be one of the keynote speakers at NTCC’s PTK induction ceremony coming up on May 2 in the Whatley Auditorium at 6:30pm. The public, as well as PTK members being inducted along with their friends and family, are welcome to attend.
The D3VP position entails speaking at the induction ceremonies of the 16 colleges in District III of the Texas Region, organizing local district meetings, and planning Texas Regional Meetings. This includes three district meetings throughout the year at various colleges in the district, the Texas Honors Institute held in July, the Texas Leadership Conference held in October, and the Texas Regional Convention held in March. Jacob was part of the opening ceremonies of the Phi Theta Kappa International Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida, April 4-6, walking with the Texas flag in the parade of flags ceremony recognizing the 29 regions of PTK within the United States and 10 other nations. Jacob also helped lead the Texas Regional meeting during the international convention.
A homeschooled student from Scroggins, who considers Longview to be his hometown, Lambie is a member of Honors Northeast. He is a biology major who is interested in psychology and is passionate about mental health and disability awareness. He is one of the co-founders of the “More Alike than Different” student organization at NTCC.
“Jacob is a great natural speaker and leader, who genuinely cares about making others feel accepted and welcome. He’s already proven himself to be an excellent representative of the PTK chapter and NTCC. I’m excited to see what he will accomplish in the year ahead as he continues to take advantage of the leadership, scholarship, service, and fellowship opportunities Phi Theta Kappa provides.” said Dr Melissa Fulgham, lead advisor for the PTK chapter on the NTCC campus.
