Becoming the Vice President of Public Relations for the Rho Beta Chapter is a Phi Theta Kappa activity that has had a profound impact on my life, both socially and academically. When I initially joined Phi Theta Kappa, I was unaware of the high caliber of company that I was joining.

Since holding this office, I have met and befriended many new people who continuously inspire me.
It is my privilege to write a letter recommending Jim Burke, a former student of mine at Rio Americano High School, for admission to Pitzer College.

On July 20th 2005, tragedy struck which changed author Kimberley William’s life for years to come. Her son, Caleb Williams, went down to the Snoqualmie River and plummeted nearly 20 feet from a rope swing to the rocks below which caused a traumatic brain injury. The months following the accident tested the patience and faith of the family as Caleb lay in a comatose state. Although he lay in this state of unconsciousness for months, the family relied on God who continuously displayed his omnipotence in the healing process.

PBS Frontline Documentary, ‘The Storm In spite of decades of planning for disasters, federal, state, and local authorities still failed to cope with Hurricane Katrina.
