The
Community College Readership Program, brought to you by Phi Theta Kappa,
promotes civic engagement and broadened awareness of current issues among
two-year college students through newspaper readership.
Phi
Theta Kappa International Honor Society with the support of USA TODAY is
proud to provide a program that allows chapters* to supplement the quality
education of community college scholars.
The
newspapers feed student curiosity about pertinent world issues and
increase awareness of news that affects their lives. Plus, the program
promotes the habit of newspaper readership among community college
students.
Your
chapter is encouraged to consider using The Community College Readership
Program as your comprehensive College Project required to satisfy Level
Five, Activity number one, through the Five Star Chapter Development
Program. The program is a scholarly endeavor and a leadership opportunity
that can also be included in your chapter's Hallmark Award entries.
Your
participation not only promotes civic engagement and opens your campus to
the world, but also provides resources for students like yourself to
complete their academic studies.
*Due to geographic circumstances some colleges may not be eligible for
campus delivery.
