    The Rho Omega Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at Illinois Valley Community College is participating in Project Graduation at IVCC’s annual commencement on Friday, May 21. 
    The mission of Project Graduation is to battle the social issues of hunger and illiteracy by collecting books and non-perishable food items in the summer when service agency resources are lagging. 
    Graduating students and their guests are asked to bring non-perishable food items or books to the ceremony, which will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 21 in the gymnasium.Donation drop-off sites will be at the doors.
    After the graduation ceremony, the books and canned goods will be given to literacy and hunger relief agencies. 
    For information, contact chapter advisor Tara Coburn at 224-0335.
