    Columbia State student and Phi Theta Kappa member Bretta Kent has recently been named a 2025 New Century Workforce Pathway scholar.

    Kent, a Marshall County resident pursuing her Associate of Applied Science degree in nursing, will receive a $1,500 scholarship.

    She is the sole student from Tennessee to be named a New Century Workforce Pathway scholar after receiving the highest scores in the state based on academic and extracurricular accomplishments.

    “Bretta’s leadership skills became evident at the Lewisburg Campus as she rallied students to join and participate in campus activities and establish study groups,” said Dr. Michelle Koenig, Columbia State dean of access, retention and regional services. “I was moved by her effortless ability to connect with faculty, staff and her peers.”
