I enjoy attending all of these celebratory events, but wish they were better attended.
Attendance is a way of demonstrating support for colleagues, students, and programs.
Last night was an exception. We had a full house in the Social Sciences Building Lecture Hall 101 for the induction of 232 new members of Phi Theta Kappa, the international honorary society for two-year students. It was a very nice ceremony with our own PTK student officers doing most of the work. As the state budget process moves forward, we are stepping up our legislative advocacy. Both meetings were very positive.
