complete community college.

Why Complete?

PHI THETA KAPPA PSI UPSILON CHAPTER | Issue

SEPTEMBER 2015
A Person with an
associate degree will earn
$500,000 more in their
lifetime than someone
with no college
credential.
Completing your degree
or college credential
means more transfer
credits accepted by a
senor college, greater
earnings potential and
greater job security.
In 2018, 67% of all new
jobs will require a higher
education credential.
85% of community
college students say they
plan to earn a degree.
Only 45% actually do.
Finish what you start.
If you did not sign the banner, it
is not too late to commit. You can
show your commitment and find
out more information about the
C4 project at
