A special shout out goes to Nora Jackson for being selected as one of the featured speakers! Even though the awards ceremony has been cancelled because of COVID-19, Nora’s speech will be recorded and available to view.

Run for Sigma Zeta Chapter Office!

Phi Theta Kappa Posted on by

Consider running for office! We’ll hold elections early in Spring Term for next year’s officers. Holding office is a great experience that builds leadership skills and provides a good line for your resume. It’s also a fun chance to work with other students in our Sigma Zeta Chapter.

 
You may run for as many offices as you like, but if you are elected to more than one, you will have to choose only one office to hold.
 
Send Ce Rosenow (RosenowC@lanecc.edu) the office or offices for which you are running along with a single paragraph per office explaining why you want to hold that office and what skills you will bring to the job.
 
Due: 5:00 pm, Friday, March 12.

Share Your Research at Upcoming Conferences

Consider sharing your work from a previous or current class at these two events! They are open to a wide variety of projects and presentation types.

The University of Oregon Undergraduate Research Symposium takes place May 27. You can be on a panel, read a paper, show an academic poster, share creative work including performances, or share a five-minute data story where you just explain a project you are working on that isn’t finished. Register by 5:00 pm April 12 here: https://undergradsymposium.uoregon.edu/symposium-abstract-submission. You just need to confirm you’ll participate, give the title of your work, and select the type of work you’ll be presenting. The event will be virtual and is free.

The Lane Community College Undergraduate Research Fair takes place the week of May 24. You can share an academic poster, read a paper, participate in the ePortfolio Showcase, or present a creative work.

Have questions about the PTK scholarship? Need a little push to get your application started? Need tips about writing a scholarship essay?

Come spend the night with the RMC region and apply for scholarships. Our goal with this scholarship night is to all work on the PTK application at our own pace, but have an environment where you can ask questions as they come up during the process.

Tuesday November 17th, 6:00 pm-8:00 pm PST / 7:00 pm-9:00 pm MST
