For Rowan College of South Jersey’s (RCSJ) Alpha
Psi Pi chapter of the Phi 的ta Kappa (强) honor society, an unwavering commitment
to one another throughout a 一年 of virtual education – and to their chapter’s
goals – has proven to be rewarding.
的 Alpha Psi Pi chapter and their advisors,
Shawn Rutter and Jackie Thomasson, began the spring semester with a reason to
celebrate – their designation as a “5-Star Chapter” for the second consecutive
一年. As the premiere international honor society recognizing students
at associate degree-granting colleges, 强 provides scholars the opportunity to
grow and encourages dialog with college leadership and active participation in
大学社区. 五星地位
is the highest level of achievement a chapter can attain for their
participation on campus and in local, regional, national, and international
活动.
“This is my first full
一年 as a Phi 的ta Kappa advisor,” said Thomasson. “的 officers and members
of Alpha Psi Pi have surpassed my expectations and impressed me in so many ways.”
As part of their efforts to earn the 5-Star
designation, the chapter completed an “Honors in Action” project that involved
research, problem-solving and efforts to educate the community. 他们解决
the question: “Are Individuals Raised to Criticize People Based on
刻板印象?” After much research and discussion, one theme was clear – people are
not always aware of the stereotypes they hold. Students took it upon themselves
创建一个 令人瞠目结舌的视频 to expose this issue, which has been shared across multiple RCSJ
平台.
的 Alpha Psi Pi chapter was also a recent
recipient of the “Recognizing Excellent in Acceptance and Completion with Honors
(达到)奖励.” This program recognizes
the recruitment efforts of chapters that grow their membership over the academic
一年. Currently, the Alpha Psi Pi chapter
has more than 240 active members.
“We were really excited to achieve this honor,”
说拉特. “Enhancing our membership during this past 一年 was challenging
to accomplish while the campus was offering a remote learning environment. 的
Alpha Psi Pi chapter’s continued growth is a credit to the enthusiasm and
dedication of its officers and members.”
