Two Southeast Community College students were recognized as members of the All-Nebraska Academic Team at the annual Phi Theta Kappa Recognition Ceremony and Luncheon as part of Community College Month. The ceremony was held on Wednesday, April 24, at the Warner Chamber in the Nebraska State Capitol followed by the luncheon at the Cornhusker Marriott in Lincoln. Governor Jim Pillen delivered the keynote address prior to the presentation of the All-Nebraska Team.  

Each student named to the All-Nebraska team received a $1,000 scholarship. The SCC students honored were:

• Caidyn Delosh of Grand Island, Nebraska is a Land Surveying/GIS/Civil Engineering Technology student in Milford. He graduates in May and has accepted a position at Olsson, Inc., in Grand Island. Delosh was the SCC speaker at the luncheon.
• Robert Reese of Fallon, Colorado is a Land Surveying/GIS/Civil Engineering Technology student in Milford. He graduates in May and will work in the land surveying profession after he graduates.

"I would like to thank the person I feel helped me achieve this honor and that is my professor Dylan Campbell,” Delosh said. “He’s helped push us all by bringing new programs into the class and helping us all study for them. This year he brought in the Fundamentals of Surveying Test so we could take it before graduation which is a huge step towards your professional licensure. He’s been an amazing mentor and I’m proud to learn under him.”

On Tuesday, April 23, the Beatrice Campus inducted nine members into its PTK Chapter. These students were:

• Joe Bardsley from Castleblaney, Ireland in the Academic Transfer program
• Caden Beck from Bennington, Nebraska in the Agriculture Management & Production program
