Chapter Officer Academy
The Phi Theta Kappa New England Honors in Action Chapter Officer Academy will be held at Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield, CT on July 17th. You may have heard that the Hallmark Program has changed for the upcoming year. All chapters will now be asked to work on one or two quality programs related to the Honors Study Topic that incorporate all four Hallmarks rather then many small programs that focus on one or two Hallmarks. It is important to note that this change does not mean that your chapters cannot focus on activities outside of this topic but it does mean that your chapter will not be required to do four activities on the Honors Study Topic and four activities on an International Service Program to be a Five Star Chapter. Five Star Chapters will be expected to complete one Honors in Action Program and one College Project.
This academy will be a wonderful opportunity to learn about the new Honors Study Topic Democratization of Information: Power, Peril & Promise and how your chapter can create a program.
The registration cost will be $10 a person and we hope you will consider joining us.
Please note: There will be an Advisor Education Conference running simultaneously with the Chapter Officer Academy.
