Recycling comes to CFCC! Several members of Alpha Chi Sigma have worked tirelessly to make recycling at CFCC a possibility. The administration at CFCC has been very receptive and we plan on making this happen as soon as possible. We recently were awarded two grants to purchase recycling bins (these grants were from the Coke-Cola company and CFCC's College Foundation) and plan on placing them around campus by Fall 2008. If you want to get involved with this effort, email us or check out one of our meetings! |
CFCC Mentors- Transforming Lives! Phi Theta Kappa, in conjunction with the Learning Lab, has developed a mentor program for students that need assistance. This includes all students and seven PTK members have been trained to serve as mentors. We hope this helps and impacts students here at CFCC- contact President Erica Spivey at eespivey65@email.cfcc.edu for more information.
