How to Get Involved
It’s important to note that each PTA campus is responsible for how their PTA Club is run. I can only speak for the Owosso campus. Any student enrolled at Baker College is able to join the PTA club. There is no specific application. Students are directed to contact Erin Smith to join. The following rules for membership include:
