Meridian Community College Nu Upsilon Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa participated in the Mississippi/Louisiana Fall Leadership Conference sharing ideas at seminar sessions and participating in induction ceremonies.

Advisors Lucy Ferguson and Phyllis Holladay presented the topic, “Bringing Better Ideas to Light on the College Project: Lessons from Nu Upsilon.” “We were asked to do this because our College Project last year about the Healthy Initiative on campus placed in the top 10 out of 486 chapters of PTK. In our seminar, we explained a Campus Map that overviewed the steps to planning a successful College Project,” said Ferguson.

MCC student Kassidy Anderson was inducted as a regional officer for the Mississippi/Louisiana Region. In addition, MCC student Jay Fritts, international vice president for Division II, spoke during the conference about what membership in PTK means to him.
