Gainesville State College student Flower Pippin adds her signature to the Commit to Complete banner in the Gainesville State College student center. The Community College Completion Corps spearheaded the project in which students pledge their allegiance to finish their college degree by signing the banner.
Although there are a multitude of reasons some students don’t finish their higher education, Phi Theta Kappa members at Gainesville State College implemented a project Monday in hopes of encouraging classmates to complete their degrees. The college’s Phi Theta Kappa Rho Mu chapter, in conjunction with the Community College Completion Corps, invited students to sign a banner in the school’s student center pledging to finish their associate’s degrees and certificates. While faculty and staff also had the opportunity to sign, more than 125 students committed to the pledge during the one-day event, according to Tonya Richardson, chapter secretary.
