Phi Theta Kappa students were formally inducted Saturday night, May 15th into the Napa Valley College chapter. The president of the college, Armond Phillips, was on hand to welcome and congratulate the students and their families. Outgoing professor and Phi Theta Kappa advisor, Walt Unti, encouraged students to pursue their dreams no matter what. Student president of Phi Theta Kappa and student trustee Rob Holst formally handed over the reigns to the new chapter president, Erica Prado and her new board.

Special thanks to Gina Stofan, Susan Brinson, Jennifer, Eve-Anne Wilkes and all the Phi Theta Kappa students for making the night possible.

Attaining Peace one Piece at a Time...

Beta Beta Sigma continued to campaign for peace by participating in the Peace 4 Piece project. We set up two tables (one in front of the 1000 bldg., the other by the quad) and lay down cloths which students and faculty members could freely express their personal symbols for peace. Each participant had a unique drawing to share (see the pictures below), implying that our richly diverse college body share many good things in common, in this case the desire to win this virtue, which we see so scarcely in many parts of the world today.

Great Job Beta Beta Sigma!
