Beach Clean-Up

Members of the chapter participated in a beach clean-up with CSM, De Anza and Napa Valley PTK Chapters. The clean-up occurred at the end of the week in which the Earth week fell at Popular Beach.

Creation of the PTK promotional video

After returning from the International Convention (April 2008) and attending several seminars on communication, promotion and explanation of PTK, two students (David Ibanez and Alex Garcia) spent several weeks developing a promotional video for the chapter. Alex and David learned at the International Convention that students are more likely to join PTK if their professors encourage them, so they decided to create a video to educate professors. This ten minute video highlights the chapter's diversity and dispels the myths of PTK elitism. This smart video showcased students majoring in different subjects and coming from different backgrounds. The video was sent to everyone on campus and created a huge impact on Canada College Faculty and District Officials. After the distribution of the video, Alex and David designed a complementary power point presentation and gave a presentation to the faculty and staff.

Planting Trees

The week of Earth Day the chapter worked with City Trees Organization. The chapter in conjuction with CSM and De Anza College Chapters planted trees in Redwood City.
