Theta Kappa from last year’s chapter president Nicholeen Frusti and chapter officers Terry Barr and Tara Fleis, when we had all served on Student Government together. Getting to know them on a personal basis and then finding out about the organization they were in which had already provided so many opportunities not only to their members, but also to the community, was what sold me on the concept of becoming a member. So I became a provisional member of Alpha Rho Pi in October until March 12, 2005 when my member

Greetings Michigan Region, I’d like to welcome you all to yet another fall semester as a Phi Theta Kappa member. I’d also like to share how excited I am about the upcoming year as your new vice-president. As you’re all painfully aware of, summer is almost over and fall classes are beginning. Which means the time for juggling jobs, classes, homework, and a ‘regular’ life has begun. As you have all discovered, Phi Theta Kappa is definitely worth the trouble. Originally I had learned about Phi

status became official. Since then I have ‘jumped in with both feet’ and haven’t really had the time to look back. I have to say that the more I learn about Phi Theta Kappa the better it gets. After obtaining my associates degree here at Northwestern Michigan College, I am planning on furthering my education at the University of Michigan, which is where I anticipate finishing my formal education- first through their four-year program and later through their excellent law program. Following my graduation I plan on becoming either an international or royalties attorney. There are still quite a few things I want to accomplish before all of that comes along. One of them is to do the best possible job as your vice-president. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do so.   Samantha Russell, Alpha Rho Pi President 2005-2006 ΦΘΚ Michigan Region Vice President [email protected]

becoming the 2005 Regional Secretary/Treasurer. I have been to pretty much every Regional conference and International conference since my induction. I absolutely love Phi Theta Kappa! It gives so many students some great opportunities, and some of the best benefits of being in Phi Theta Kappa are not academic. They are the friendships and experiences that you get, which are priceless to me! I am currently in my last year at KVCC. I will

Hi to one and all!   Wow, it is an honor to be serving as an officer for such a great region! For those of you who don’t know me, or those who don’t know me well, let me share bits and pieces about myself.   Obviously, my name is Jessica. I am a member of the Alpha Rho Nu chapter at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. I’ve been in Phi Theta Kappa since February 2003. I have been a chapter treasurer and chapter president before

hopefully be accepted to Ferris State University as a student in their College of Pharmacy for the 2006 fall term.   Phi Theta Kappa is like a big family to me, but sometimes I’m with my other family. I live with my parents right now because of housing costs. My town is home to Western Michigan University, so the chances of getting affordable housing in a college town are slim to none! But my parents felt it was better to focus on my studies and my work in Phi Theta Kappa than have to worry about living expenses. Awww! I also have one brother, who is 24 right now.   Hopefully, that gives you a little background about me. Please look for me at any of the regional conferences or feel free to contact me to help out with something at your own campus! I always love visiting new colleges! Hope to see you all real soon!   Jessica Buchanan Regional Secretary/Treasurer

I hope everyone enjoys this issue of the Michigander. It has been enjoyable so far visiting everyone and getting to know more about your chapters.       Looking back on the last couple of years at Macomb Community College it’s hard to believe sometimes that this is my life.  I am originally from Santa Cruz California.

Program” at the International Convention in Dallas.   Obee was the first to win his college’s Excellence in Teaching Award (1989) and has frequently been a Division nominee for SC4’s Distinguished Faculty Award, which he won outright in 1997. He has been named to Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers six times and has been in Who’s Who in the Midwest several times. In 1999-2000 and 2004-05, he led the Michigan Region to a Distinguished Region Award, and in 2000 his chapter was recognized as the Most Distinguished Chapter. Lambda Mu has been an International Distinguished Chapter or Continued Excellence Chapter seven other times since the beginning of the Region and has won numerous International and Regional Hallmarks.  It has been a Most Distinguished or Continuing Excellence Chapter in the Michigan Region continuously since 1994.  Obee himself has won eight Distinguished Advisor/Continuing Excellence Advisor Awards.  In 2004 he was recognized with the Board of Directors’ Alumni Achievement Award for his (then) 42 years of association with Phi Theta Kappa as member/officer, advisor and coordinator.   Obee’s hobbies (whenever he isn’t teaching, researching or working with Phi Theta Kappa, which is rare) are being a small business berry farmer, a gardener, a semi-expert and devotee’ of science fiction/fantasy literature with just a touch of affection for the horror genre.  He has taught courses in Science Fiction and Fantasy as Literature.

dropped out of High School in 1987 and pursued my GED when I was caring my oldest son James in 1988. I had my son Travis in 1992. We moved to Michigan in July 2000 after meeting my current husband on the internet.      I had originally started taking college classes out of boredom when I signed my son up for high school.  This

has been the best experience by far.  I hope that everyone is able to take away from Phi Theta Kappa the same wonderful ideals, great friendships and leadership that it provides for us.      Life often throws us curve balls but its how you hit them back that makes it a homerun and that’s how you experience the greatest rewards life has to offer you.  Make the most of it and you too will go further then you can imagine.   Sincerely, Melissa Lowell-Pokorski Michigan Regional PR/Historian [email protected]

 Helping Build the Future: One Book at a Time

Prospective member Cassondra Keller spearheaded a drive for children’s books last spring when she heard that the chapter was in need and netted more than 2,500 books. Some were used at the Easter  Eggstravaganza’s Beta Lambda Kappa Gently Used Book Exchange, but there were many books left, more than 1,500!   During the June Relay for Life at which the Beta Lambda Kappa participated, it was discovered that many schools in Macomb and Wayne counties didn’t have libraries. The chapter teamed up with Patricia Di Bartolomeo, a teacher at Conner Creek Academy in Warren to help them set up a

library for their students.   On Sept. 23, Keller and PR/Historian Patricia Dettloff filled the car with 18 boxes of various sizes and took a road trip! The staff and faculty at the school were so excited. They couldn’t believe their luck. And a library was begun.   The chapter will continue throughout the fall semester to add to the school’s new library and bring reading and enlightenment to some of the children of our community.     Every year during Macomb’s Howlin Health Fair and Easter Eggstravaganza Beta Lambda Kappa continues to collect books and give books making sure that no child walks away without a book to read. Beta Lambda Kappa will continue to reach out to the community schools to help build their libraries.   Patricia Dettloff Beta Lambda Kappa- Macomb College

Satellite Series Continues to Draw Positive Reactions

Chapters who are currently not subscribers to the 2005 Honors Satellite Seminar Series are invited to participate in the final telecast free of charge.       The 2005 Satellite Seminar Series continues to draw positive reactions from chapters throughout the Society.      Thomas Obee, Michigan Regional Coordinator and advisor at St. Clair County Community College said the first Honors Satellite Seminar received rave reviews from both students and faculty. "Many of the 85 attendees (the largest audience we've ever had) were students earning extra credit or students from a night class with their instructors," Obee said. "And I've

been told that the tape is in constant use by students who could not attend. I have no doubt that by the time the semester is over that seminar will be viewed by at least 125 people and maybe even 150."      "We have been staying about an hour after each seminar to talk about the presentation and our views of the topic," said Steven Fritts, Phi Theta Kappa advisor at Ozarks Technical Community College in Missouri. "The next one on media stereotypes should be very interesting and we are hoping to advertise more with the sociology and communications departments for this one." Press releases have been sent out on previous Satellite Seminars, and the presentations have been advertised on the campus TV system.      J.T. Bullock, International Vice

President for Division II, said his chapter at Jefferson State Community College-South Campus in Alabama has established local themes for each of the seminars.      "For the first seminar we had a Pop Culture show and tell. Participants brought something related to popular culture that reflects who they are," Bullock said. "In the second seminar, which focused on fashion, we dressed up in styles from different eras: the Civil War, 70's, and the present."      The Satellite Seminars provide chapters a unique opportunity to initiate dialogue and discussion on topics of current relevance. Learn how participation in these interactive presentations on aspects of the Honors Study Topic can invigorate your chapter's honors programming. http://www.ptk.org/honorsseminars/benefits.htm

“Cancer doesn’t take a month off so neither can we!” 

Alpha Omicron Rho chapter (Oakland Community College - Auburn Hills campus) has a big event planned for February.  We are still nailing down an exact date but the event is a go for sure.  We are hosting a Cancer Awareness Fundraiser.  The theme is "Cancer

doesn't take a month off so neither can we."  I came up with this theme when I noticed that on the cancer.org website, there is no "theme" for February, i.e. October being Breast Cancer awareness month and so on.   So far we have  St. Joseph's          Cancer Institute in Oakland

Road Trip Anyone?

         By Cassondra Keller & Melissa Lowell

On the Road Again!   Lately, Melissa Lowell-Pokorski and Cassondra Keller of Beta Lambda Kappa have been traveling the state. Funny as they both are not from Michigan. “It all started when Melissa asked me to go to Muskegon. I was like sure! Little did I know it was a 7 hour drive from Detroit,” stated Cassondra Keller and that is where it all began. Since the going to Muskegon was so fun Melissa and Cassondra have decided to travel the state as much as possible. They have visited Kirtland Community College and are on the road to help with the orientation at Oakland Community College in Orchard Ridge. “We have set a goal to participate in as much as we can,” said Melissa “So if you have something you would like us to come to let us know! If we can fit it into the schedule we will be there.” We plan to have quarterly pages in the newsletter telling about all the places we have visited.

Beta Xi Xi in the House!

In October, Michigan welcomed its first new chapter in over 20 years. The new chapter is from Muskegon Community College and sports the chapter name of Beta Xi Xi. This is not the first time Muskegon Community College has had a chapter. On November 25, 1929 Muskegon had one of the first chapters in Michigan, Omega; unfortunately it was “retired” in 1982. However, this year two wonderful advisors Kelley Conrad and Jenny Klingenberg have decided to take up the challenge of starting the new chapter, Beta Xi Xi, with the backing of the college President, David Rule. Mr. Tom Obee, Melissa Lowell-Pokorski and Cassondra Keller of Beta Lambda Kappa preformed the first two orientations of the new chapter. All were very excited about this new chapter forming. Over twenty people showed up for the orientations and at least five joined on the spot. “It was great to participate in the orientations. I can’t wait to meet the new officers at regional events,” said Melissa. We are proud to say that as of November 1, 2005 Beta Xi Xi has 23 new members and counting. On November 22, Beta Xi Xi will be having their induction as well as their chartering ceremonies.  Look for this chapter at upcoming events

and give them a big warm Phi Theta Kappa welcome.

Seeing stars at Kirtland Community College…

While attending a Service Learning conference at Macomb Community College, Melissa and Cassondra were invited by a Christina Wickham, a member of Alpha Omicron Gamma to visit their college and to attend their officer meeting. They were given directions and told that the college was located two miles past the point of where you think you should have passed the college by then. Amazingly, they arrived safely and attended the meeting. During the meeting they helped the chapter with their 5 star requirements by giving ideas and suggestions on how they may expand their current programs. The meeting was made very special when two new members decided to step up to the plate and become officers that night. We watched as Jackie Riley swore them into office. “We wish Alpha Omicron Gamma all the best with becoming a 5 star chapter. Now that they have more then two officers, I am sure they will be able to attain their goal,” stated Cassondra Keller

Best of luck to both chapters! Tune in with us next time for more exciting adventures of Melissa and Cassi!!

The I-Opener: The New Five Star and Hallmark Programs

By Tom Obee, Regional Coordinator     I was going to title this column “What I Did on My Summer Vacation” but that sounded a little too much like the first composition one does in third grade.  However, that title would have been appropriate in one very specific way:  much of my “summer vacation” was spent on Phi Theta Kappa activities, whether they were chapter or Regional Officer orientations, chapter picnics, chapter fundraising events, or chapter planning meetings (weekly), Regional Officer meetings, or the Leadership conference in Jackson.  But I’m reasonably confident you aren’t too interested in those activities.  If you’re a wise Phi Theta Kappa member (and what other kind is there?), you’re far more concerned with the changes in Phi Theta Kappa programs.  I will try to outline these changes in this column but please realize that my discussion of them is inevitably

incomplete due to space limitations.  You are strongly advised to consult the Phi Theta Kappa web page to get complete details   First of all, Phi Theta Kappa has a new Five Star Program.  Some things are pretty much the same as in the old one.  For instance, it still is a progressive or staged Chapter Development Program, there still are five levels, and chapters must submit their Goal forms and Update forms on the appropriate dates.  If a chapter does not succeed in attaining the goal it aimed at, it will still be credited with the level it actually reached, and if it reaches a higher level, it will be credited with that level. And there must be at least two chapter members involved in an event or activity for it to count toward Five Star. But the new Program is substantially different in several ways.  First of all, the Program is now on a calendar year basis (January-December) rather than on a Regional year (May to May in Michigan).  Because this is the first year of the change, Michigan has the distinct benefit of being

able to double count events/activities undertaken from January 2005 to our Regional Convention in May.  That is, they may have already been counted toward the 2004-05 Five Star, but they may again be counted for the 2005 Program ending in December.   In another change, the first three levels are more clearly aimed at the fundamentals of chapter development and of the basic programming of Phi Theta Kappa, such as the International Service Program, the Pinnacle Scholarship Program, and the current Honors Study Topic (all on Level Two).  One major change is that the College Project, which used to be on Level Five, is now on Level Three.  The purpose of this change is to cement a relationship between the college and the chapter sooner.  In another major change, involvement in Regional activities such as hosting a Regional event (or other alternatives) and entering two Regional Hallmark Award categories is shifted to Level Four.  Finally, involvement in International Hallmark competition and attending International events is shifted to Level Five.  On each level after Level Two, the number of Honors Study Topic and Service Project activities is, naturally, increased.  There are even alternatives to attending Regional events for chapters which are more than 500 miles away from Regional conferences.  While this is just a rough summary of the changes, I have tried to cover the most significant ones.

The Hallmark Awards Program has undergone even more dramatic change than the Five Star Program. In an effort to make the judging of the submissions as objective as possible, both a points system and rubrics for judging are involved. A second major change is that there is no longer a          Fellowship Hallmark Award category, though Fellowship remains a Hallmark of the Society.  Fellowship is now worked into the other Hallmarks.     About the only things about the Hallmark Awards that are still the same are the requirements that there be an application form along with the presentation of specific chapter activities in a specific format.  But that format is no longer an essay with a required annotated chronology with a variety of not-so-optional support materials such as recommendation letters, a flyer from a chapter activity, newspaper articles, and a picture page.  No, the new format dispenses with the essay, chronology and support materials altogether.  Well, perhaps not the chronology.  Though a chronology will not be part of the submission, a chapter will still have to keep close track of its activities, so a chronology should be maintained.   Instead of the “old” requirements,” there will be the application form and a

very specific series of questions, which must be included and which must be adequately answered in no more than five double-spaced pages.   The responses will be judged by an already established and published set of rubrics developed by Headquarters.    Just as an example (the other two Hallmark applications are very similar), the Service Hallmark calls for a chapter to state its goals in the Service hallmark and to explain the strategies used to meet those goals (maximum of ten points).  Then it asks a chapter to discuss up to four chapter programs or International Service Programs that are related to the Service Hallmark Goals—activities involving the campus, community and region (maximum of ten points multiplied by four).  Section III of the form asks the chapter to discuss up to three ways the chapter provided service using activities not related to the International Service Program that affected the campus, community and others in or beyond the region.  These two must be related to the chapter’s Service Goals and the maximum of ten points is multiplied by 1.5.  Section four asks what the results of the Service Hallmark Program were in terms of who benefited and how they benefited as well as

how the chapter and others grew.  The maximum here is ten points with a multiplier of three.  Finally, the last section, Presentation Evaluation, covers Directions, Neatness, and Conventions (of language use).  There are five points for each trait which are added and then divided by three.  Obviously, the purpose of the points system and rubrics is to eliminate the subjectivity that might be involved in judging an essay.  Furthermore, the new system focuses strongly on the development of chapter goals in each Hallmark and a sincere effort to fulfill them.   There are numerous other changes in the Hallmark Awards Program, not the least of which is the fact that the number of awards given in each category has been increased.  The Continuing Excellence Award for advisors has been dropped and winners of the Distinguished Advisor Award are not eligible for that award the following year.  There has been the addition of an award for Regional Officer Teams.  The format for Distinguished Chapter President, Officer, and Member has also changed.  Each requires three nominations specific to each award and each nominator must answer specific questions.  The total cannot exceed three pages. Of course, each nomination involves a certain number of points.   For all the Hallmark applications, there are margin, spacing and font requirements so as to prevent any chapter from exceeding word limits.  Again, most of these changes were made in the interests of objectivity, uniformity and consistency of judgment, and fairness to all the applicants.   You can get more Hallmark & Five Star information at: www.ptk.org/fivestar/
