PARKERSBURG -- West Virginia University at Parkersburg's Phi Theta Kappa Sigma Omega chapter sponsored an Adopt a Highway cleanup on Saturday, April 29.
"Fourteen volunteers came out to pick up litter from the edge of the roadways around campus, including Nicolette Road, Swisher Lane, Woodberry Lane and Campus Drive," said Marie Butler, PTK adviser. "We had a very successful event with a total of nine large bags of trash/aluminum cans/pop bottles/Styrofoam cups, two tires and a large piece of plastic as well as numerous cigarette butts picked up in two hours' time."
PTK is an invitation-only honor society on campus. To be eligible, students must have a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average and completed at least 12 credit hours of associate degree work.
The event was open to all members of the campus community and fulfilled required community service hours for the WV Invests, Ascend, Elementary Education and Nursing programs.
