Creative Outlets Exhibition: Phi Lambda Chapter, PTK

This collaborative display showcases the efforts and achievements of Central Piedmont students and employees in the realms of art and advocacy over the course of six decades.

Advocacy Efforts By Phi Lambda (PTK)

The Central Piedmont Phi Lambda chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) is dedicated to local community service and service to our college community through education and hands-on activities. From scholarships to service and leadership experience, Phi Theta Kappa is a great way to learn the skills that will make you a valuable employee and an asset to your community.

The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa is to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa provides opportunities for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate to exchange ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.

On display are images, scrapbooks, awards, and textural materials highlighting the advocacy efforts of our PTK students, as well as the positive impact Phi Lambda has upon our college and local communities.
