Holiday Helpers
This program assists students who need help to make their Christmas wishes come true! As a club, we "adopt" families (through our college foundation) and take them shopping! If you would like to help by donating gift cards or other goods, let us know!
Recycling comes to CFCC! Several members of Alpha Chi Sigma have worked tirelessly to make recycling at CFCC a possibility. The administration at CFCC has been very receptive and we plan on making this happen as soon as possible. We recently were awarded two grants to purchase recycling bins (these grants were from the Coke-Cola company and CFCC's College Foundation) and plan on placing them around campus by Fall 2008. If you want to get involved with this effort, email us or check out one of our meetings! |
CFCC Mentors- Transforming Lives! Phi Theta Kappa, in conjunction with the Learning Lab, has developed a mentor program for students that need assistance.
