Every year, the Phi Theta Kappa honors society students at NHCC collaborate with administration on a College Project. In 2021, the proposed College Project was to add a sidewalk along West Broadway Avenue, in Brooklyn Park. This way, students would not have to walk in the street, or wait for a bus in the street – especially in the winter. With the cooperation and support of NHCC’s administration, PTK students met with the City of Brooklyn Park, Hennepin County and also the Metropolitan Council. They eventually reached their goal though and the asphalt pathway was finished last week!
A few students remain, but many PTK students who helped advocate for the sidewalk graduated in the Spring of 2022. The students involved in this project were:
Naomi Bennett
Jaimee Coleman
Teresa Kemp
Florence Bradley
Ferdosi Ahmed
Danny Kaddoura and
Emily Bates
With an additional shout-out to PTK Advisor and Honors Program Director, David Mantini!
Thank you to all those involved in this project, for making campus safer for our students and community!
