Travels with Tiberius: Phi Theta Kappa Regional Conference

Aniyah Torres
- Where did you go, and what group went?
- Our group went to the PTK regional conference at Mohawk Valley Community College in Rome, NY.
- Tell us about what you did on your trip.
- We were able to experience multiple presentations on the power of stories from different perspectives. There was even a presentation on Nazi Science and the impact of that knowledge. We also got to spend a lot of time as a group bonding and getting to know our other regional chapters!
- What was your favorite part?
- My personal favorite part was the art therapy we practiced on the last day of the conference. A close second would have to be our breakaway seminar groups. After each presentation, we broke into smaller groups to discuss our thoughts and answer some discussion questions.

- How was the trip for you?
- I had a lot of fun exploring a new area (Rome, NY) and hanging out with the PTK officers! They made sure I was tucked in at night and wearing my seatbelt.
- What was your favorite part?
- I got to find out why America (and ATI) runs on Dunkin. I’ve never seen so many boxes of coffee before. Even so, I think my favorite part was meeting all of the officers of our region (including the international vice president, Alyssa DeFlorentis)
- Would you recommend this trip to a friend?
- I would! There will be another conference in the fall so if you’re interested, get involved with Phi Theta Kappa now and find out how you can attend too!
