FULTON, Miss. (WJTV) – The former advisor for a national honor society at a Mississippi community college has been charged with embezzlement.

State Auditor Shad White said Special Agents from his office arrested Robin Lowe. She’s the former advisor for the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) chapter at Itawamba Community College.

Lowe is accused of converting public funds meant to benefit the PTK chapter for her own personal use. Lowe was the advisor for the honor society from 2008 to May 2023. White said Lowe was served with a $36,915.30 demand letter at the time of her arrest.

“We are dedicated to making sure all taxpayer dollars—but especially dollars meant to benefit students—are spent appropriately and not stolen,” said White.

Lowe faces up to 20 years and $5,000 in fines if convicted.
