Hawkeye students Mary Boevers and Annastasia Fullilove were among those honored Monday night at the 2024 Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society Awards Banquet. Mary and Annastasia were both selected for the PTK All-Iowa Academic Team.
Mary Boevers is a non-traditional student at Hawkeye Community College who will be completing her degree in Liberal Arts in May of 2024. After completing her degree at Hawkeye, she plans to transfer to the University of Northern Iowa to major in Accounting, Business Analytics, and complete her CPA. While attending Hawkeye, PTK has been an integral part of student life and activity for Mary. PTK has helped Mary become engaged in student life on campus, while encouraging others to do so as well. She will also be taking on Student Lead for our PTK Blood Drive this Spring! When not attending school, her happiness is in the kitchen. Mary currently lives on an acreage outside of Dunkerton, IA, with her husband, teenage daughter, four dogs, and one cat.
Annastasia Fullilove is a 29 year old, non-traditional student. While on her educational journey, she has had the honor of being the President of PTK at Hawkeye Community College for the past two years. Anna's major is Social Work. Upon completion of her education, she plans to open a full service transitional housing program as her dream is to help others who are dealing with adversity. Anna enjoys being engaged in student activities and spending time with peers. There was a time when Anna never imagined that returning to school would be an option for her. After overcoming many obstacles, she learned that she could use each of those experiences to ultimately reach back into the community and help others in similar or worse situations. She has not let her past define who she is, but instead strives to use the wisdom she has gained to benefit others. She strongly believes that her involvement in PTK has been a key element in helping her to develop her voice and build the confidence to pursue and fulfill her dreams.
