New Jersey Chapter Is First to Receive New Award

The Phi Theta Kappa chapter at Mercer County Community College in Trenton, New Jersey, is the first recipient of Phi Theta Kappa's new award for Innovative Membership Initiatives. According to Helene Plank, advisor, the chapter has arranged for Phi Theta Kappa's "Good as Gold" Member Benefits video to be aired several times each week on the local community education access cable channel, which announces Mercer's upcoming events, airs television broadcasts for the college credit telecourses, and broadcasts student-produced news and talk shows. The potential viewing audience is all Mercer County cable subscribers - 88,000 households in the Mercer County and City of Trenton areas. The video will be shown throughout the month of March. Plank said that Co-Vice President of Publicity Barbara Wethe developed the idea. The chapter hopes the personal testimonies of members appearing in the video will attract potential inductees and spur interest in Phi Theta Kappa and the college.
