Are you planning to transfer for the Spring 2012 or Fall 2012 semester? Be sure to apply for the Michael Rood Transfer Opportunity Scholarship, offered by the New England Region Alumni Association, which can give you $100 to cover the cost of transfer applications!

Those two items, along with the linked form, must be received by February 20, 2012.

The scholarship is named for Michael Rood, long-time adviser to the Alpha Lambda Zeta chapter of Asnuntuck Community College.

Submit Your Work for the 2012 Honors Anthology

Posted on Thursday the 20th of October, 2011 at 10:03 am

Each year, the New England Region publishes the Honors Anthology, a collection of the best writing and 2D art by Phi Theta Kappa members in our six states. Writing and art can be on any topic, and there are no minimum or maximum lengths. We especially encourage you to submit papers or 2D art you’ve already prepared for classes! Why let your hard work go to waste when you can use it to get published and have another line for your résumé?

Submissions can be made any time before February 1. The best submissions are selected for publication in the Honors Anthology. All you need to do is send an e-mail! For more information, or to submit your work, write to anthology@neptk.org.

If you would like to share this opportunity with your members or with your English/Arts/Humanities departments, please click here for a flier you can distribute.
