Two students from Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) in Kirkland have been recognized for their academic achievements by two national organizations.

Chris Osler has been named to the Phi Theta Kappa All-Washington Academic Team. Phi Theta Kappa is the International Honor Society for two-year colleges.

“It is always important to celebrate academic excellence,” LWTech President Dr. Amy Morrison Goings said. “I am honored to recognize Chris Osler as a member of the All-Washington Academic Team, and his commitment to lifelong learning and LWTech’s mission.”

Lynette Clemens was recognized as the Student of the Year by the Washington State Chefs Association (WSCA), a local chapter of the American Culinary Federation (ACF).

“Lynette Clemens is a great example of a student who gets involved to truly make the most of her program and her experience at LWTech. She’s proved again and again that her knowledge and talent in the culinary arts are transformational,” Goings said.
