The Iota Mu Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa at Pearl River Community College recently completed its spring service project, marking another milestone in the chapter’s ongoing commitment to community engagement. Chapter members elected to return to Pearl River County Nursing Home, one of the sites visited during the 2022 – 2023 school year for the Honors in Action Project, which placed in the top three projects internationally and was published in Civic Scholar.
Residents were delighted to immerse themselves in virtual reality experiences, enjoy classic games like Mario Kart, checkers, and UNO, and exercise their creativity by crafting Lego flowers, a cherished memento for each participant.
The chapter’s collaborative approach, involving students in the decision-making process, underscores its dedication to service and leadership development. Through initiatives like these, Phi Theta Kappa members at Pearl River Community College continue to embody the spirit of excellence and service, leaving a lasting impression on both residents and volunteers alike.
