Phi Theta Kappa Voices

Phi Theta Kappa constituents give personal voices to hot topics.

Tootsie Sommers
2004-05 Chapter President, Lakeshore Technical College
Cleveland, Wisconsin
On Project Graduation:
"Individuals are shocked to learn that illiteracy and hunger exist in our communities, but upon realizing this fact, people are extremely eager to help in any way they can. Something our chapter has learned from participating in Project Graduation is that service to our community is very rewarding. The fellowship among our chapter members is truly heartfelt, as compassion for others does not have barriers. Everyone benefits from community service - it's a gift from our hearts that continues to grow by giving of ourselves."

Nathan Rogers
2004-05 Tennessee Regional President
Northeast State Technical Community College
Blountville, Tennessee
On the International Leadership Conference:
"Being at the International Leadership Conference for Regional Officers can be a life changing event. Not only do you learn about the history of Phi Theta Kappa, but through the leadership training you are given the chance to create history."

Joyce McAdams
Chapter President, Ivy Tech State College
Sellersburg, Indiana
On Relay For Life:
"Having dealt with my father's passing from cancer 20 years ago, I have always believed in giving to cancer research. Participation in the Relay For Life fundraiser has provided me the opportunity to work with so many other students, faculty and staff committed to giving not only their money but also, more importantly, their time to such an important cause."

Kunti Dudakia
Membership Officer, Irvine Valley College
Irvine, California
On the Satellite Seminars:
"By facilitating discussions and composing thought-provoking questionnaires and surveys, I was able to fully grasp our Honors Study Topic. Popular Culture is an unquestionable influence on all our lives and this series helped our chapter re-examine our own views about sex, marriage, sports and music. Scholarship is about sharing and learning, and the Satellite Seminar Series managed to bring our students, faculty and administration together in a scholarly forum for intellectual exchange and discussion."
