Rockstar Campaign
"THE ROCKSTAR PROGRAM was developed by Phi Theta Kappa members as they attempted to develop an Honors in Action project in the Fall of 2012. The members were challenged with creating a project around the culture of competition within academic settings that would benefit the college. As 30 of us sat in a room and discussed how competition has affected each one of us, we realized that there was an opportunity to foster connection. We realized that while we all came from different walks of life and backgrounds, we still stood on common ground. We have each struggled to be successful students, successful wives, mothers, husbands, fathers, siblings, sons, daughters, and contributors to society." (More.)
