Keynote speaker at the induction event will be Jonathan Goble. Goble graduated from Clark State in Spring 2019 with an Associate of Science General Transfer Degree. During his time at Clark State, Jonathan participated in TRIO, was an active member of Phi Theta Kappa and was named to the All-Ohio Academic Third Team.

While at Wright State, Goble was also initiated into the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society. He now works at Ball Aerospace where he helps to write software for government contracts.

“We are honored to celebrate the academic achievements of so many remarkable students. We continually strive to provide opportunities in the areas of leadership, fellowship, scholarship, and service to maximize our students’ membership in Phi Theta Kappa,” said Nina Wiley, assistant vice president of student affairs and PTK advisor at Clark State.
