What is the A.R.T.S. Club at MPTC?

My meeting was canceled; so since I was already on campus, I decided to check out this new club. A.R.T.S stands for Adults Returning to School. Along with meeting new people, I also met the Vice President of Student Affairs who stopped by to speak with us.

The club members introduced themselves to me. I heard a little bit about their bake sale fundraiser and their plans to decorate trees on the West Bend campus. They’re trying to come up with a community service project to undertake, hopefully before the end of the semester.

Everybody had the chance to talk about what was going well and what wasn’t going well. It’s good to know that others are having similar difficulties you’re having so you don’t feel alone.

Something great about the club is that you can still be part of it if you aren’t able to come to the meetings. There is an online portal you can have access to if you ask for it. It is the same system we use for our online and blended classes. There is supposed to be lots of resources and a place for online discussion.

The A.R.T.S. club meets approximately every other Wednesday on the West Bend campus in the afternoon. Look for flyers around campus or contact Kathy VanDemark for more information.
