Phi Theta Kappa is partnering with Be the Match to connect patients that have blood cancers/diseases to genetically matched donors willing to give life-saving blood stem cells. Donation is safe, free and confidential. The only thing required to join the donor database is a quick (painless!) swab of the cheek. If a match is found at any point throughout the years, the hope is that potential donors will be ready to say “yes!”
Please stop by A. Lincoln Commons between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. today, Nov. 8, to join the national registry. Members of PTK, along with members of several other student clubs, will be there to assist with registration and to answer questions.

“Our officers and members are provided with extensive leadership development and growth opportunities. I am particularly impressed with how this current group of student officers has taken initiative to establish relationships with other clubs and with other PTK regional chapters,” said Dr. Gillian Bauer, LLCC PTK chapter advisor and professor of English. “We are also proud to announce that we have been asked to host the next Regional Conference and Honors Institute for the Illinois Region in June.”
