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!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>What was your favorite part?\n<ul>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tiberius<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How was the trip for you?\n<ul>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>What was your favorite part?\n<ul>\n<li>I got to find out why America (and ATI) runs on Dunkin. I\u2019ve 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)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Would you recommend this trip to a friend?\n<ul>\n<li>I would! There will be another conference in the fall so if you\u2019re interested, get involved with Phi Theta Kappa now and find out how you can attend too!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1786\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1786\" class=\"wp-image-1786 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-at-the-Mic-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-at-the-Mic-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-at-the-Mic-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-at-the-Mic-1153x1536.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-at-the-Mic-1537x2048.jpg 1537w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-at-the-Mic-75x100.jpg 75w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-at-the-Mic.jpg 1816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A legal-size cutout of the MCC mascot Tiberius is held up in front of a microphone on a podium.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1787\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1787\" class=\"wp-image-1787 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-being-held-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-being-held-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-being-held-768x1023.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-being-held-1153x1536.jpeg 1153w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-being-held-1537x2048.jpeg 1537w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-being-held-75x100.jpeg 75w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-being-held.jpeg 1816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1787\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A person with curly red hair wearing a t-shirt and blue plaid pants is holding a legal paper-sized cutout of the MCC mascot Tiberius.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1784\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1784\" class=\"wp-image-1784 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-Group-2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Several Phi Theta Kappa members hanging out with Tiberius\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-Group-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-Group-2-1024x769.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-Group-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-Group-2-1536x1153.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-Group-2-133x100.jpeg 133w, https:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/11\/PTK-Conference-Tiberius-Group-2.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1784\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Five students are on a couch, with two in the background to the viewers&#8217; left and one to the viewers&#8217; right.
