As President and CEO of PTK, the nation’s oldest and largest honor society for students seeking associate degrees and credentials from community colleges, Lynn spends most of her time creating opportunities for some of the nation’s hardest-working students by connecting them to life-changing scholarships and family-sustaining employment.
With nearly 30 years in higher education, she has been a community college math, chemistry, and physics instructor; computer programmer; database administrator; institutional researcher and university faculty member. She serves on national boards for the College Promise Campaign, the Center for Community College Student Engagement, Executive Council of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools —Commission on Colleges, and the Board of Directors for the American Association of Community Colleges and the Rural Community College Alliance. As a passionate champion for community colleges and community college students, she loves using data to tell their stories and to advocate for the support of these amazing students and quality institutions of higher learning.
