Five State Fair Community College (SFCC) Radiologic Technology students were recently inducted into the Imaging Sciences National Honor Society, Lambda Nu.

A news release says the purpose of the Missouri Theta chapter of Lambda Nu is to foster academic scholarship at the highest academic levels, promote research and investigation in the radiologic and imaging sciences, and recognize exemplary scholarship.

These students earned this honor by having a professional course GPA of 3.7 or higher, an active membership in a professional organization and actively enrolled in a radiology or imaging science program.

The students inducted were Grace Sloan of Marshall, Nathan Nall of Lake Ozark, Nate Walsh of Smithton, Connor Hughes of Osage Beach and Nicole Hockett of Warsaw.

In other news, the SFCC Radiologic Technology program recently presented Sloan the Lambda Nu Academic Achievement Award. Sloan earned a 4.0 GPA during the entire time she has been in the program, possesses a high work ethic and is self-motivated to be the best at any task.

Also, Radiologic Technology second-year students at SFCC voted Russell Dedrick, a technologist at Bothwell Regional Health Center, as the Clinical Instructor of the Year. Dedrick was one of the first students to graduate from SFCC’s program. His daughter Katlynne Dedrick who graduated May 13 from SFCC’s Radiologic Technology program, presented the award to him.
