Members of Phi Theta Kappa, Beta Sigma Mu chapter of Tarrant County College helped make a memorable night for nationally recognized transportation professionals as well as raised funds for their organization. On March 21, the students posed as paparazzi during National Carriers, Inc. annual Driver of the Year Banquet. The banquet theme recreated the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Oscars with the students posing as overzealous paparazzi. Waving posters of their favorite truck drivers and National Carrier dignitaries, the scholars proved to be an enthusiastic audience as the celebrities entered the Bob Duncan Center in Arlington, Texas.
National Carrier supports continuing education through a variety of efforts including classes that promote No Impaired Driving, No Zone Awareness, and the Elite Fleet University. Vice President, Loren Bridge, presented a donation to the Beta Sigma Mu members as part of the celebration. Chapter advisor and Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus Speech Instructor, Candace Eldridge organized the students and accepted the donation.
Eldridge stated the chapter has created a Campus Community Garden and is re-establishing a campus food pantry. Beta Sigma Mu participates in five community programs each semester and has been recognized as a Top Texas Chapter for the past two years. Only 10 chapters of the eligible 87 receive this honor. The students are in turn donating the proceeds from this fundraiser to help sponsor an upcoming District Spring Fling attended by 20 area chapters.
