The All-USA Community College Academic Team, which is highlighted in a special supplement in Tuesday’s USA Today, recognizes an outstanding group of 20 two-year college students from across the country who display a combination of academic achievement and community service.
Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in higher education, serving nearly 1,300 colleges in all 50 states and nine countries. Members of the All-USA Academic Team are recognized for their academic achievements, leadership accomplishments and engagement in community service.
O’Connor, of Ballston Spa, is the secretary for the Student Senate, student representative on the college’s Board of Trustees and president of the Entrepreneurs Club. He is also involved in several extracurricular volunteer activities on campus and in his community. He will graduate this spring.
