Congratulations to Dr. Cindy Lee, one of our 2026 PTK Alumni Hall of Honor recipients.

One of the most impactful ways Dr. Cindy Lee empowers PTK members at Tallahassee State College is through personal mentorship in academic research. She works closely with students to strengthen their critical thinking, writing and presentation skills while helping them identify meaningful research topic and clarify their academic goals. Through her mentorship, several PTK students have gained acceptance to highlight competitive institutions including Florida State University and Princeton University. Dr. Lee encourages students to aim behond their perceived limits, helping them build confidence, resilience and a strong sense of purpose in their education.

"As a first-generation, non-traditional student, and English as a Second Language learner, Phi Theta Kappa gave me more than resources and guidance, it gave me a community that believed in me when I was learning to believe in myself. From Provisional Member to Regional President, my PTK journey has been transformative. It has taught me to lead with purpose, engage in projects that create real impact, and find strength in my own story. I am deeply honored to be named a Guistwhite Scholar. This prestigious recognition fuels my commitment to higher education and reminds me why representation, community, and believing in our won potential matters so profoundly." - Maria Posada.
