“I have created friendships through my time in Phi Theta Kappa that allow me to see how reachable my goals are while encouraging me to further my personal growth with connections to students at EOU, which have become as important as the degree I am working toward. The rewards from my peers will stay with me forever and will impact the rest of my time here at EOU as well as later in my chosen career.”
