Alpha Theta Phi Chapter - Phi Theta Kappa - LaGuardia Community College

By Ross Adler The Media Officer position is a very fulfilling job in PTK. It requires diligence, patience, and a lot of attention to detail. You have to make sure that every event is thoroughly publicized and you have to convey just the right amount of information so that members will be convinced to take a more active role in both volunteering and participating. This is accomplished through various mediums. Your primary outlet, flyers and posters, should be completed not less than two weeks prior an event. Generally, a PowerPoint is the easiest way to make a flyer and a poster. You can insert blurbs, insert photos, and insert a background with relative ease as opposed to Adobe Photoshop for example. The goal here is to catch the attention of people who are passing by and to convey as much information in as little time as you can. With Facebook, you have access to over 700 people who have “liked” the Alpha Theta Phi page. Your job is to make sure that this Facebook page stays ...

Christian Sanchez-Narvaez Communications Officer Mayor: Liberal Arts Math & Science Dream School: Columbia University Current City: New York, NY On the faithful morning of June 12th 2009, I received a call from my mother in Florida stating that a decision has been made on my ongoing juvenile court case… “Nolle Prosequi” she tried to pronounce. Of course my naive and word restricted vocabulary would not allow me to comprehend the unbelievable god-send this was for me until I actually received the letter. For two weeks, I was agonized with the idea of leaving everything I’ve worked for behind and stand in front of a judge to receive her mercy (again). Those two weeks were depressing; I felt that my life was coming to an end...

 Djene Keita   Publication Officer  Mayor: Liberal Arts: Math & Science  Dream Schools: Columbia  Current City: New York, NY A dreamer, a learner, and a valiant fighter, fighting against the wind of ignorance, striking for knowledge, success and accomplishment are the adjectives that fit in my character I have built up at LaGuardia Community College. One important thing I have learnt about life is that it is made of choices and one has to be wise enough to make the right choice at the right time. One little mistake can cost you hard; it can destroy years of work and leave you with little hope and remorse. The time you look back and regretfully say if I knew, the harm is already done and the damage cannot be repaired, the mistake would still be etched in walls of your memories until they are redeemed. Through my years of struggles in quest of knowledge and opportunities to excel my own expectation, during my long trip in the pursuit of understanding this...
