International students at Pittsburg State University recently celebrated an important milestone as they were inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK), the National Leadership Honor Society.
ODK recognizes students who demonstrate leadership, academic achievement, service, and exemplary character. The Society promotes the values of collaboration, inclusivity, integrity, scholarship, and service, making induction a meaningful recognition of students who are making an impact both inside and outside the classroom.
Among the newest international student inductees are:
🇲🇽Frida, from Mexico, who earned her master’s degree in School Counseling Psychology and currently works at Pitt State as an Academic Advisor.
🇵🇾 Gabriela Mongelos, from Paraguay, who is majoring in Piano at Pitt State.
🇧🇩 Shuvodip Barua, from Bangladesh, who is pursuing a Master’s degree in Physics.
Also inducted was 🇺🇸 Lily Ort, who serves as Treasurer of the International Student Association (ISA) and demonstrates her commitment to leadership and involvement within Pitt State’s international community.
Their induction into Omicron Delta Kappa reflects more than academic success, it recognizes the leadership, service, and involvement these students bring to the Pitt State community. ❤️💛
Congratulations to the newest ODK members! We are proud to see Gorillas from around the world learning, leading, and making a difference at Pitt State. 🦍🌎
