Members of Beta Theta Rho, Randolph Community College’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, have been quite busy since January. Several students from RCC’s PTK chapter attended the Phi Theta Kappa Carolinas Regional Convention in Clemmons from March 22-24. Members from PTK chapters in various North Carolina community colleges and South Carolina technical colleges attended various workshops and seminars to learn more about the mission and purpose of PTK.
