Three outstanding student organizations at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College were recently honored at the college’s second annual Club Achievement Competition, where student clubs/organizations submit notebooks of yearly membership and community service efforts. Each winner received a $500 Willis H. Lott Community Service Award.
The winners were Petrochemical Refining – PTECH Club (Jackson County Campus, Tommie Broome, adviser), Phi Theta Kappa (Jefferson Davis Campus, Dr. Pat West and Teresa Wells, adviser), and Phi Theta Kappa (Perkinston Campus, Gayle Greene-Aguirre, adviser).
Judges rated fifteen standards in the areas of membership development and community service. Evidence of community service in relation to member support, student leadership, management of club resources, and innovation and diversity of community service activities were heavily considered.
“I am extremely proud of these student organizations and their advisers for the work they’ve done in our community,” said Dr. Willis Lott, Gulf Coast president. “These organizations not only provide leadership opportunities within our student body, they support the fulfillment of our college mission by enhancing the college’s relationship with the surrounding community.”
