I joined PTK for three important reasons: community outreach, reputation, and scholarship opportunities. Each year, Phi Theta Kappa chapters can develop and execute two projects which are called Honors In Action and College Projects, that are meant to improve the college and/or help its students n some way. Although these projects require a lot of work (such as good research to find solutions, cooperation with the college itself, and creating a successful project that everyone appreciates of), with enough effort, it can create some of the best leaders that can improve the community around themselves. In order to identify these problems that need to be fixed, we will try to reach the community through events through CVCC, including Have a Dog with the Big Dawg, Fall Fling, Spring Fling, and others. After executing a project successfully with CVCC’s partners, a PTK chapter can also be awarded with a number of awards which are internationally recognized for the students and the club overall. The students who helped create the said project can also apply for a vast number of scholarship opportunities that they can use to fulfill their educational futures. In conclusion, I believe that PTK is a fundamental stepping stone that can create the next generation of successful leaders. Obblivignes Kanchanadevi Venkataraman, President
