Crowder students from Joplin, Neosho named to All-Missouri Academic Team

(From Crowder College)

Crowder College had two students earn honors on the 2024 All-Missouri Academic team: Ernie Ishcomer and Savanna Davidson

Both students were recognized at this year’s Phi Theta Kappa & Missouri Community College Association luncheon held at Stephens College in Columbia in April.

"Congratulations to Ernie Ishcomer (Neosho) and Savanna Davidson (Joplin), both of whom were named to the 2024 All-Missouri Academic Team (only 50 in the state), stated Dr. David Schieffler, co-sponsor PTK & Crowder History instructor. “This honor, awarded jointly by Phi Theta Kappa and MCCA, recognizes "high-achieving two-year college students who demonstrate academic excellence, intellectual rigor, leadership, and service that extends their education beyond the classroom to benefit society."

Each student received a medal and a cash scholarship in recognition of this distinction.

Schieffler and Suzanne Prior, PTK co-sponsor & English instructor, attended the event with the students.

Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) recognizes the academic achievement of college students and provides opportunities for its members to grow as scholars and leaders. Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa has a presence on almost 1,300 community college campuses in 11 nations. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) recognized Phi Theta Kappa as the official honor society for two-year colleges in 1929.
