Two students from Northeast Texas Community College recently received the Walter B Cooper Scholarship at the Phi Theta Kappa Texas Leadership Conference held virtually on October 15-17th. The Walter B Cooper Scholarship recognizes outstanding students in the state of Texas who are “well-rounded” in the four Hallmarks of Phi Theta Kappa: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship.
Maxime Risner and Brian Ramirez were among seven winners recognized across the entire state of Texas. While NTCC’s chapter, Alpha Mu Chi, has had Walter B. Cooper Scholarship winners in the past, it is unprecedented for the chapter that two applicants be awarded within the same year. Risner will receive $750 and tied for the overall first place application and Ramirez will receive $250.

Academic conferences are not only great information-sharing events; they are contests that determine the scholars who have the information worth sharing. In this competition, written abstracts matter, and winsome abstracts, require arresting titles, unique phrases, and surprising insights—linked together and conveyed in the time consumed by an elevator ride. They are sometimes called “elevator pitches.” At Northeast Texas Community College, honors students often begin their research in conjunction with films that occur before their first fall semester. During the semester of their first year, they write weekly “ideophanies” that involve at least two conceptualizations every week. By November, they compose posters, engage in “arresting concept” contests, and write fifteen-page rough drafts.
