One of the great things that Phi Theta Kappa makes available to it’s members are two programs that help you with life after community college and beyond, which are:


- College Fish: your number one resource to search school, scholarships and all that it’s needed for a successful transfer.

AND

- Competitive Edge: a professional development plan based on what ‘Fortune 500′ companies look for and value in their employees.



Iota Xi is offering TWO workshops – on both – on the following dates and times:

*Thursday NOVEMBER 3rd, from 11am to 12pm. Room TBA.

*Saturday NOVEMBER 12th, from 12 to 1pm at room L-302.

If planning to attend, send me an email at maria.botinelly@gmail.com so I can have a head count and give you instructions of what to bring.


Hope to see you there!

Maria Botinelly
Vice President of Honors of the Middle States 2011/2012

Iota Xi’s Chapter officers and faculty advisor, Dr. Mandana Ahsani attended the Phi Theta Kappa regional officers training in Wilkes Barre PA. During the three day program, we met officers from other chapters in the Middle States Region and learned skills that have helped us improve our performance as leaders.

Also, we are happy to announce that Iota Xi Secretary Maria Braga was chosen as Regional Vice President of Honors for the entire Middle States Region. There was a competitive election during the Officers Academy where three other candidates ran for the position that Miss Braga now holds. We wish her a successful year. We surely know that she is going to give her best as she has done in our chapter.

At this academy, we were encouraged to complete the 5-Star Competitive Edge program. This program helps members “build an online portfolio” that will showcase their accomplishments in one convenient location. Then you can easily share the information with scholarship providers, admissions officials and potential employers.

If you are also interested in networking with students from our campus and around the world. If you want to learn more about competitive edge or a leadership roles, please come to our weekly meetings. You may find opportunities and the answers you are looking for.

Sincerely,

Paola Cruz
