The new members were recognized in a formal induction ceremony held in the College’s Drawing Room on November 30. Also participating in the ceremony were ODK officers Conrad Deese, Ashley Flowers, Katheryn Rayman, Marcos Sola, Brantlee Yarborough, and faculty advisor Melinda Norris, assistant professor of business administration.
“We are very excited about our new members,” said Yarborough, chair of ODK’s Public Relations Committee, “and especially glad that three of our inductees are from the Evening and Extended Studies Program.”
