Searcy, Arkansas - Owen Flowers, a 2012 Dexter graduate, was inducted into Harding University's Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) on Sunday, April 13th. ODK is the only national leadership honor society, and only about 1% of Harding University's study body is nominated into this premier group. 

Members of Omicron Delta Kappa are highly selected individuals with excellence in scholarship and leadership across five areas of campus life: scholarship, athletics, campus/community service, media, and performing arts. Membership is awarded to college juniors, seniors, graduate students, faculty, and alumni. 

"Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society, was founded December 3, 1914 at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia by 15 student and faculty leaders. The founders formulated the idea that leadership of exceptional quality and versatility in college should be recognized, that representatives in all phases of college life should cooperate in worthwhile endeavors, and that outstanding students, faculty, and administrators should meet on a basis of mutual interest, understanding, and helpfulness.  OΔK® was the first college honor society of a national scope to give recognition and honor for meritorious leadership and service in extracurricular activities and to encourage development of general campus citizenship. Since its founding, Omicron Delta Kappa has initiated over 300,000 members."

Owen is a junior at Harding University, located in Searcy, AR. He is majoring in the Athletic Training/Pre-Physician Assistant Program. He is the son of Tim and Kim Flowers, and grandson of Jane Flowers and Dale and Jeanice Tanner.

Congratulations Owen!  The Dexter community is extremely proud of you!
