PTK Honors Summit 2026 Follow-up Event
Join us for the PTK Student Forum, a follow-up event to the PTK Honors Summit held in March, where student leaders began an important conversation about AI, data, and student leadership.
This forum will continue that discussion by focusing on how data in its many forms influences student decision-making now and in the future.
Guest speakers Hannah Blodgett, Dean of Outreach, First Year Experience and Pathway Communities, and Brenda Valles, Dean of Institutional Effectiveness and Innovation, will share insights on how data is used in higher education and how it shapes institutional and student decision-making.
Students will also take part in interactive discussions exploring how data appears in different areas of college life, from surveys and academic systems to social media and news, and how it impacts the choices students make.
This event also serves as an introduction to the PTK Honors in Action 2026-2027 theme, "What's Next? Imagining the Future." The conversations from this forum will help spark ideas and perspectives connected to that future work.
This event is open to everyone at ARC. All students are strongly encouraged to attend and share their perspectives.
