The Fort Myers SOTA Club Donates To Toys For Tots:
The Fort Myers SOTA Club raised over $150 to purchase toys for The Marine “Toys for Tots” drop box located on campus. OTA Instructor Ms. Cindy Mackey turned the shopping trip into a valuable education lesson. Students first decided how much money they wanted to spend per age group. They then went about selecting toys that encourage developmental growth. The ultimate success of the “Toys for Tots” campaign depends on the support of the local community and the generosity of the people who donate toys. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charity, is the authorized fundraising and support organization for the “Toys for Tots” program.

Special Presentation To Promote “Skill Topics” on the Fort Myers Campus:
PTK President Roy Franco, and PTK member Alex Jimenez spoke to various general education classes about “Test Taking and Study Skills” on the Fort Myers campus. The objective was to expose new students in week two of their courses to various academic “skills topics” in their first semester at Keiser. The initiative was facilitated by the Academic Dean’s Officer under the leadership of Dean Knox. The classes with the most students enrolled were selected for the special presentation.
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
