Dr. Greg Little Receives Paragon Award for New Presidents

The Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society issued this news release on March 7, 2025.

Midlands Technical College President Dr. Greg Little is among the honorees. He became the 7th president in the college's history on July 1, 2025.

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) will recognize 25 college presidents with Paragon Award for New Presidents during PTK Catalyst 2025, the Society’s annual convention in Kansas City, Missouri, April 3-5, 2025.

To be eligible for this award, college presidents and CEOs are new in their role having served less than three years. Recipients are nominated by students on their campus and are only eligible to receive the award once.

The award recognizes college presidents who have shown support of student success initiatives leading to stronger pathways to completion, transfer, and employment. They have taken an active interest in supporting high-achieving students and developing student leaders on campus.

“These new college presidents have demonstrated, right from the start, that student success is at the heart of their leadership,” said Phi Theta Kappa President and CEO Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner. “This award is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the students, reflecting their appreciation for leaders who prioritize their growth and achievement.”

Honorees were selected from among thousands of college administrators eligible to receive this award.
