PTC offers many student clubs; check them out

Pine Technical College may be nestled within the small, quaint, community of Pine City, but it offers a large variety of opportunities for our fellow Pines.

Through PTC’s clubs, students can join one of two honor societies, become involved with PTC’s student government (Student Senate), enhance their entrepreneurship skills within the CEO Club, and learn leadership skills, as well as gain more access to scholarships.

Students who enjoy numbers or technology may be interested in the annual Pi Day celebration, and partaking in math puzzles through the Math Club. Or, through the Computer Club, students can take the opportunity to learn and discover new and current concepts in the fields of computer science and robotics.

Environmental responsibility and healthy living are important, so the Evergreen Club may be the right fit for some Pines, while developing a high standard of moral, ethical, and safe health care providers through the Nursing Club may be of interest to others.

Some students may want to enhance their student self-worth and employability skills for future careers through technical training, competitions, projects, and team building, and can do so by joining SkillsUSA.
And PTC students who enjoy hitting the shooting range can look to promote shooting by fielding shotgun, rifle and handgun teams in the Shooters Association.

“We have many clubs and student organizations on campus, so there is something for everyone. And if there is not something for you, you can always start your own club or organization,” said Student Senate Advisor Amanda Spencer.  “It’s a great way to meet new people and get involved on campus.”
