Matthew Jordan is honored by Great Plains Honors Council

The annual October vote of the members of the Great Plains Honors Council (GPHC), an association of 80 honors colleges and programs, recently confirmed Matthew Jordan, a Presidential Scholar at Northeast Texas Community College, as the 2013-2014 Student Representative of its Executive Council.
The  2012 Salutatorian of Pittsburg High School, will become the highest ranking student in an organization that represents thousands of honors students, including those at large and prestigious universities. Moreover, he is the first community college student in memory to have obtained that distinction, according to GPHC archivist, Ryan Diehl, whose records on this question extend through the last 10 years. Jordan defeated the president of the Honors Scholars Council at John Brown University, Kelsey Gulliver, by two votes to win the election.
The president of the Great Plains Honors Council will introduce Jordan at this year’s 2013 meeting of the GPHC, held during the conference of the National Collegiate Honors Council, in New Orleans on November 8. Jordan, who already is president of the Honors Student Council at NTCC, will have a full vote in meetings of the seven-member, GPHC executive council.
