+ Phi Theta Kappa Member Phi Theta Kappa is a national honor fraternity for community college men and women, recognized by the American Association of Community Colleges. Its purpose is the promotion of scholarship, the development of leadership and service and the cultivation of fellowship among the students of the community colleges of the United States. Initiates are selected on the basis of scholastic rank (having completed at least one term of community college work), and must be judged of good moral character and possess good citizenship qualities.

~ SPARK All Barton students are eligible for membership in Barton’s Community Student Organization (CSO) and SPARK. Both organizations joined together this year to meet the goals of each organization. CSO focuses on community service and developing relationships between Barton’s diverse students along with developing leadership skills. Barton’s SPARK goals include growing entrepreneurial spirit and increasing knowledge in the business area along with leadership. Students earning the cords for these organizations have met community service and activity requirements. This is the first year this membership has been recognized.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

Since the regalia used in colleges and universities for academic occasions may not always be understood by visitors to a campus, the following information will explain the items of apparel. Everyone possessing a college degree is entitled to wear a black robe on appropriate occasions. Faculty members wear hoods in addition to the gown. Hoods are generally black, trimmed in velvet in the color of the subject field, and are lined with the colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The correct colors to denote various branches of learning have been established by the Intercollegiate Code.

Maize: Agriculture Green: Medicine White: Arts, Letters, and Humanities Pink: Music Drab: Business Administration Apricot: Nursing Copper: Economics Sage Green: Physical Education Light Blue: Education Gold Yellow: Science Orange: Engineering Citron: Social Science Brown: Fine Arts, including Architecture Silver Gray: Speech Maroon: Home Economics Scarlet: Theology or Divinity Lemon: Library Science

16 ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AT BARTON

Academic Integrity is integrated into Barton culture through the use and discussion of six values: Trust, Responsibility, Honesty, Courage, Fairness, and Respect. Through the use of these values, we create a space and provide context to discuss academic integrity and how it impacts students’ academic and professional lives. To support the promotion of the six values, Barton created the role of the Academic Integrity Ambassador. The students selected for this opportunity were empowered to share their voice and story around a specific value. Please join Barton in recognizing the 2020-2021 Academic Integrity Ambassadors for their commitment to integrity in education:

Ashanti Davis – Trust Elsie Randel – Responsibility Vanessa Oduah – Honesty Kacper Mayerberg – Fairness Carolina D’Anniballe de Salles – Respect Terry Charlett & Troy Hardwick – Courage

22 2021 BARTON DIFFERENCE

Barton graduating students were asked to name employees who made a difference in their lives.

Emily Harper Academic Advisor Fort Riley Campus

She walked me through the program, helped me out with registering for courses and made sure that I got the right book for the course. I could not have made it without her.

- Nominated by Kossi Awude

Angela Campbell Instructor Fort Riley Campus

When I first started my journey, I didn’t know how much psychology really meant to me or how much of a passion I had for it. Ms. Campbell made me love psychology and everything that surrounds it. She opened my eyes to new possibilities for furthering my education. I truly believe she deserves this award.

- Nominated by Jeamelah Samedy

Kathy Boeger Instructor/Coordinator of Business and Accounting Barton County Campus

Professor Boeger has not only been an instructor for four accounting courses that I have taken over the past year, but she is also my advisor. She has always gone above and beyond to help me with any questions or concerns that I may have had. She is an excellent teacher who truly cares about her students and deserves to be recognized for her efforts. I am not sure I would have survived this past year without her positive encouragement. I am so thankful for everything she has done for me.

- Nominated by Tonya Navarro
