Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK), the National Leadership Honor Society, has selected two Tars as recipients of the 2022 Eldridge W. Roark, Jr. Meritorious Service Award.
Peg Cornwell, associate to the president for college and community relations, and Lorrie Kyle ’70, executive director of Rollins’ Office of the President, have been selected for their service as long-devoted supporters of the Rollins College chapter of ODK as well as the leadership they’ve shown members through the years.
The Eldridge W. Roark, Jr. Meritorious Service Award is awarded by the National Awards Committee and shows appreciation to those who serve the society. National officers are eligible for the award once they have completed their term.
Both Cornwell and Kyle are invited to the Omicron Delta Kappa National Awards Ceremony in Lexington, Kentucky, on June 4. Rollins students and ODK members Angelina Khourisader ’21 ’23MBA and Alexis Matton ’23 will present at the awards ceremony.
