COLUMBUS, OH – Nearly 70 students from Ohio’s community college system have been named to the All-Ohio Community College Academic Team for their excellence in academics, leadership and community service.
“With our commitment to providing an accessible and high-quality postsecondary education, Ohio’s community colleges offer pathways that ensure the academic and career success for our students” said Jack Hershey, President and CEO of the Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC). “With the many challenges facing our communities at this moment, these students who were selected to the 2020 All-Ohio Academic Team serve as shining examples of what makes our community colleges so special.”
The All-Ohio Academic Team program is a long-time collaboration between the OACC, Phi Theta Kappa and the event sponsor, Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc.
“On behalf of OACC and our partners, we are extremely proud of these students for all they have accomplished. We celebrate their academic excellence and we look forward to seeing them continue their journey to become leaders in their professions,” Hershey said.
These top-performing students were nominated by faculty, staff and their peers. Students recognized as first-team honorees will receive $1,000 scholarships, while second-team members earn a $500 scholarship, and third-team members receive a $250 scholarship.
