Phi Theta Kappa Joins Recycling Effort
When Tri-C unveiled an
expanded recycling effort this fall as part of its commitment to
developing a Sustainability Plan, Phi Theta Kappa didn’t sit back and
watch. Instead, the Alpha Zeta Delta Chapter at the Metro Campus
focused on how it could make a difference.
As a result, Alpha Zeta Delta launched its “E-Waste Not/Want Not”
campaign where it is participating in the recycling effort of cell
phones and ink cartridges. The cell phones will be donated to the
Domestic Violence Center of Cleveland during an event held in the Wi Fi
Café entitled “Domestic Violence: A Paradox of Affluence” (see attached
flyer for times) on Oct. 15 at the Metro Campus. These phones will be
reused by victims of domestic violence in emergency situations. The ink
cartridges will be recycled as part of the international Keep America
Beautiful campaign in conjunction with Staples, the office supply
company.
Drop-off sites for cell phones and ink cartridges are located at the
Metro Campus in MLA 103F, the Student Life office in MCC 102, or the Phi
Theta Kappa office in MCC119. While cell phones will be presented on
Oct. 15, the collection program will run throughout the year.
“Students are not just learning the concepts of leadership through Phi
Theta Kappa, they’re able to apply them,” said Dr. Dorothy Salem,
faculty advisor of Alpha Zeta Delta at the Metro Campus. “We really
emphasize service. There’s no better campus to see the application of
service than here.”
Phi Theta Kappa is the International Honor Society of the Two-Year
College. Alpha Zeta Delta takes part in countless volunteer projects
that promote environmental awareness and community service.
