Devier will be recognized by the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society with the Michael Bennett Lifetime Achievement Award. It will be presented during PTK Catalyst 2024, the Society’s annual convention this weekend in Orlando, Florida.

The awards are given to retiring college presidents who have shown support of student success initiatives leading to stronger pathways to completion, transfer, and employment. They have taken an active interest in supporting high-achieving students and developing student leaders on campus.
