Four collegians named to academic team
Two students from Cleveland State Community College and two from Chattanooga State Community College are among 26 of the state’s highest-achieving community college students, named to the 2014 Phi Theta Kappa All-Tennessee Academic Team sponsored by USA Today.
Rachel Ann Burgess and Mark Partain from Cleveland State and Derek Dameron and Robert Barber from Chattanooga State were presented medallions at a ceremony held at the Doubletree Downtown Hotel in Nashville.
The All-Tennessee Academic Team consists of students nominated by their colleges, who will be considered for the All-USA Academic Team sponsored by USA Today and Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. Each two-year college in a state may nominate two outstanding students selected in recognition of their academic achievement, leadership and service to the community.
