RCC’s chapter was chartered in 2005 and students participate in service projects during the year. These students wear the double cord of honor and the honor’s stole with the Phi Theta Kappa logo embroidered on it at graduation. There is a designation in the graduation program of this honor.
Vice President for Instruction Johnnie Simpson was the keynote speaker. She said a Harvard study of successful people showed 85 percent of their success came from a positive attitude, while 15 percent came from their skills and expertise. Since the students’ grades showed they are capable of attaining the 15 percent category, she challenged them to work toward developing positive attitudes that will take them the rest of the way toward success.
As the students names were called, they crossed the stage and assembled to recite the PTK pledge and to share the lighting of candles to symbolize passing the torch of knowledge.
