Jones College 2023 and 2024 graduate, and recent graduate of Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, Chanel Evans gave the keynote speech at the Induction Ceremony. She is currently working on masters degrees in Criminal Justice and Organizational Leadership before pursuing a doctorate of Education at South College. The former JC PTK officer, and full time Wendy\u2019s International Divisional Field Training Manager challenged the new members to be \u201cunapologetically and authentically\u201d themselves and to be bold and passionate, and a\u00a0voice\u00a0<\/em>for the voiceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter all, \u2018your playing small does not serve the world\u2019 (Marianne Williamson). Take the road less<\/em> traveled, fully immersing yourself in the rewarding challenges of splendor and achievement and know that you are no less a scholar should you decide to change your major five times before Grad School! I did! Remember to keep those standards high while never forgetting to extend grace to yourself and to others as you continue to grow<\/em>. Dare to stand against the wind, striving daily to be a pillar of both strength and community, and the reason the world never stops believing that genuine <\/em>people still exist! Be intentional with your time investments, safeguard your aspirations, and in all things, engender the four Hallmarks of PTK: \u201cScholarship, Leadership, Service, & Fellowship,\u201d Evans said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
