On Friday, Sept. 28 Phi Theta Kappa will be holding their kickoff ceremony for the semester-long Commit to Complete program, started in 2011.
The event, which takes place at 4:30 p.m. at Kiener Plaza in downtown St. Louis, will feature STLCC Chancelor Myrtle Dorsey and executive director of Phi Theta Kappa Rod Risley, will speak at the event.
The event is something everyone should be excited about according to Vice President of Academic Affairs Andrew Langrehr.
“I’m excited about it. I’ve participated in events we’ve had on campus where students come and commit to complete,” Langrehr said. “I think its inspirational.”
Langrehr said he appreciates the hard work that has gone into the event.
“I think this event is an even bigger deal, getting the support of the college with some scholarships for books and scholarships for fees,” Langrehr said. “I appreciate all the hard work that’s gone into it. It demonstrates the support of the college.”
Dorsey listed the scholarships that Phi Theta Kappa will be awarding students.
“During the rally I will be awarding four full-tuition scholarships for the spring 2013 semester with an additional eight book scholarships to students who have participated in campus events leading up to the rally,” Dorsey said.
Dorsey added there will be a celebration at the Cardinals game at Busch Stadium.
“Following the rally, students who have been awarded St. Louis Cardinals tickets from campus activities and events will gather at Busch Stadium to celebrate the champion spirit of St. Louis Community College and personal commitment by attending the Cardinals vs. Washington Nationals game starting at 7:05 p.m,” Dorsey said.
