WTC PTK Honor Society Places Second in Statewide Competition

Williamsburg Technical College’s Alpha Sigma Gamma chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) International Honor Society recently placed second in the 2010 South Carolina Technical Education Association (SCTEA) Student Community Involvement Project competition, according to Russ Bumba, senior manager for student services and research with the South Carolina Technical College System.

The PTK International Honor Society recognizes and encourages academic achievement of two-year college students and provides opportunities for individual growth and development through honors, leadership and service programming.  The WTC PTK has sponsored such community-enhancing events as canned food drives for St. Anne’s Catholic Church, assisting with Meals on Wheels for Vital Aging, raising money for the Red Cross, and donating to a local high school honor society trip. PTK is also active on campus assisting as hosts for various events and sponsoring food and bake sales for faculty, staff and students.

WTC PTK advisors are Alecia Lawrence, general business instructor, and Judy Coker, assistant to the dean of instruction.
