An Iowa Lakes Community College graduate received an award this spring for her work with the Iowa Chapter of the Business Professionals of America.

Tina Jehle was honored as an Outstanding Student in one of Iowa’s 13 Career and Technical Student Organizations at the Iowa Historical Building this spring for her work as Historian and Reporter. Jehle is from the Havelock and graduated from the administrative assistant program at Iowa Lakes in May.

Pam Pfitzenmaier, Director of K-12 Education for the Iowa Department of Education, was on hand at the ceremony to congratulate each student and to encourage the future leaders of Iowa. While in Des Moines, Jehle also visited State Legislators on Capitol Hill.

The Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) Student Recognition Ceremony was sponsored by The Office of the Governor, The Iowa State Board of Education, The Iowa Department of Education, The Iowa Department of Workforce Development, and The Iowa Association for Career and Technical Education.

Iowa’s Career and Technical Student Organizations serve over 19,500 secondary and postsecondary students. Student organizations expand the educational experience beyond the classroom walls and provide incentives for students to learn and achieve. Within the context of the career and technical education instructional program, student leadership organizations bring together students interested in careers in specific career and technical fields. The primary goal of student organization participation is to develop the whole person through career development, personal development, and leadership development.
