Omicron Delta Kappa taps 11 Oglethorpe students for national leadership society

Eleven Oglethorpe University students were tapped to be inducted into the national leadership honor society Omicron Delta Kappa: Syeda Bano, Alejandra (Julissa) Canas-Escobar, Sarah Collum, Benna Curole, Hannah Dattilo, Deon Heavens, Ryan Holtzen, Margaret Light, Bethany Malskis, Linda Simpson, and Jax Wright.

Omicron Delta Kappa is a highly selective national leadership honor society that encourages and rewards the highest standards of excellence for young leaders and innovators at universities nationwide. ODK's mission is to identify, honor and develop leaders in collegiate and community life; encourage collaboration among students, faculty, staff and alumni to advance leadership; and to promote and publicize its ideals.

Oglethorpe University's ODK Circle was established in 1976 and remains a vital, thriving part of the campus today. Initiation into the circle is one of the highest honors an Oglethorpe student can achieve.

New members are formally inducted at the annual Boar's Head Ceremony at the end of the fall semester.
