The TEK Productions Scholarships recognizes Phi Theta Kappa members who are majoring in fields leading to careers in production and/or event management in an associate, certificate, or bachelor’s degree program.

He serves as the Logistics Chair for the Hospitality, Exhibitions, and Event Management Club on his college campus, as well as Vice President for The Sustainable Age Student Journal and President of his local Phi Theta Kappa chapter.

Ferdinando believes the best way to learn how to lead is through engagement with one’s community.

He plans to continue his education at Texas A&M University to obtain his baccalaureate degree in Event Planning.
