Greetings student leaders and advisors,
My name is David Seale. I am a student at the County College of Morris, in Randolph, New Jersey. I am a former President of the Student Government, and the current International Vice-President for Phi Theta Kappa, International Honors Society for Two-Year Colleges. In 2008, I formed the New Jersey Community College Student Leader Union, a student led and student organized group aimed at facilitating inter-collegiate discussions concerning budget challenges. I hope to continue these efforts this year, with the added intent of furthering the nation’s Community College Completion Agenda and discussing C4 (Community College Completion Corps).

Dear Phi Theta Kappans,

Valentine’s Day Bake Sale is almost here!

It will be happening not only on Thursday and Friday of this week, (February 10th and 11th) but also on Wednesday the 9th.

We missed the sign up sheet for the first day on the orientation meeting so if you could bring anything or donate any of your precious time the Chapter on this Wednesday the 9th, it would be greatly appreciated!

If you already sign up to bring goodies or committed some of your time to the bake sale thank you so much! But if you could fit another hour on the first day would be great!

On Wednesday the bake sale will be happening from 9am to 5pm and we have all the time slots available. If you can fill any of those 8 hours please contact Jared at jspero@ptkiotaxi.org, Maria at mbraga@ptkiotaxi.org, or just leave a comment after this post.

The Stars Reward System is set up and the bake sale is a very flexible and easy way to be involved in the chapter’s activities.

Remember, you get from Phi Theta Kappa what you put into Phi Theta Kappa!

See you guys there,

Maria Braga

PTK hosted its first orientation session this past Thursday, Feb 3rd, where we  welcomed new members to Iota Xi and congratulated  them for their academic excellence. We, officers shared some of our experiences as members and leaders of the chapter and explained the different responsabilities each of us have in our respective positions. Also, by sharing our different perspectives in how the honor society has contributed to us as individuals, we encouraged them to get involved and take advantage of the variaty of opportunities that exclusively members have access to.

If you missed this orientation, you still have the chance to join us in the upcoming one to be hosted on Feb 12 in the Admiral Stanley Room located in the Cranford library at 12:30 pm.

To learn when there are more upcoming events, go to the event calendar tab and click on enlarge for a better view.  There is our Valentines’ bake sale, our book sale and blood drives coming up. Great opportunities to share with people like minded who also care about their future, their community, chapter and school.

Hope to see you all and once again congratulations to those who are completing all the steps towards membership.

Sincerely,

Paola Cruz
