This was the first Rising Star Award for the MWCC chapter after they achieved five stars in evaluation criteria including membership growth and engagement in projects. Projects included the Virtual Learning Survival Guide for students, a Self-care Relaxation Yoga Event, and the Parachute Project making masks for residents and staff of local disabled adult homes.
PTK Treasurer Kasey Colon was awarded the Distinguished Officer Award for her work with the chapter, on projects, volunteering without hesitation, and her support of chapter president Paige Landry and Vice President Madison Faneuf.

The Honors in Action Award recognizes academic research, problem solving, and action-oriented service to address real-world challenges in our communities. Students who participate gain job-related experience while creating lasting impacts in their communities.
“We are so proud of the efforts of our PTK chapter,” notes PTK Advisor Tami Morin. “The success of this PTK Charter has truly been a team effort and would not have been possible without the work of the officers, advisors, and members who volunteered their time in support of chapter projects.”
