Chapter Advisor, Butte College, CA
On Membership Fee Assistance:
"At Butte College, the office of Extended Opportunity
Programs and Services pays the entire induction fee
for any EOPS-eligible student. EOPS students are low
income or first generation students, considered by the
institution to be disadvantaged. This increased Butte
College membership significantly this year! I encourage
all chapters to ask their college administration about
membership fee assistance funded by similar programs."

Chapter President, Mohave Community College, AZ
On Increasing Member Participation:
"While serving as chapter president, I have noticed that
participation for events is often low at first. But don't
get discouraged! You are doing things for the betterment
of your college and community. As you become more
active and visible, more interest will be peaked. Always
get your college administration on board with projects,
so you can advertise on campus and seek support from
various departments."

On The International Service Program:
"Our chapter has participated in several events for the
Operation Green International Service Program, and
I found my time spent in each endeavor extremely
fulfilling. For Good as Gold Week, we planted seven
native langiti or "lipstick" trees on campus. I had fun
working with my fellow Phi Theta Kappans and my
experiences implementing the International Service
Program complemented my environmental biology studies."
