Each year PTK, in cooperation with USA Today, encourages each community college to nominate two students for Academic All-American. These two students compete nationally for honors and are automatically named to the Kansas Academic All-American Team which is recognized each year at an awards ceremony.
All students are eligible for membership and are encouraged to join and become involved.
The club offers opportunities for participation in professional activities featuring guest speakers, technical demonstrations, and field trips. Several social activities and fund raisers are planned each year. The organization is interested in promoting the college and personal growth through science activities. All nursing students are required to join the Student Nurse Organization. This organization offers the students an opportunity to develop leadership skills and to learn more about nursing.
