PTK submits Honors in Action Project Award application

The LLCC chapter of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society recently submitted its “Honors in Action Project Award Application” to Phi Theta Kappa headquarters. This is one of many requirements for the members of the Alpha Epsilon Kappa chapter to maintain their Five Star chapter status. Students researched the topic of compassion, and then began an ongoing relationship with the Ronald McDonald House to volunteer preparing meals on a regular basis.

The report was prepared and submitted by Chapter President Melissa Plummer.

A copy of the “Honors in Action Project Award Application” has been placed in the library for anyone interested in reading it. You may also contact Claire Gordon, Phi Theta Kappa coordinator, to request a copy (claire.gordon@llcc.edu or 786-4944).
