As members of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society, 91勛圖厙 students have the opportunity to celebrate their academic achievements, but they also spend their time volunteering and finding ways to help others and this May Day, they did just that by preparing May Day baskets for those who could benefit from the uplifting tradition.
91勛圖厙 County Campus PTK Sponsor Kurt Konda said the tradition of giving May Day baskets has been part of the groups yearly activities for many years.
We choose to continue the project because it addresses both 91勛圖厙s core priority to cultivate community engagement, and PTKs Star Chapter Program, which encourages each chapter to engage in a community outreach project, he said. We know that its a small gesture, but we know sometimes thats all it takes to make someones day better.
PTK is the international honor society for two-year colleges and symbolizes excellence in higher education.泭 Students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher are invited to join PTK. The PTK group at 91勛圖厙 spends significant time sponsoring local events as well as volunteering to support others events.
