Sinclair’s honorees are members of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the international honor society of two-year colleges. Nu Pi is the PTK Chapter at Sinclair Community College.

56 outstanding students from Ohio’s 23 community colleges are being honored as members of the 2024 All-Ohio Academic Team.

“Ohio’s economy and the careers it supports are transforming at a thrilling pace, and our community colleges play an essential role in preparing the workforce this exciting new technology-focused age requires,” said Tom Walsh, interim president of the Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC). “The 2024 All-Ohio Academic Team, coming from all parts of the state, are in the vanguard of this transformation. Their success as students and the promise they show for their chosen careers is testimony to the contributions that Ohio’s 23 community colleges are making as they help develop the well-educated, motived workforce that will drive our state’s economy for many years ahead.”

The All-Ohio Academic Team program is a collaboration between the OACC, Phi Theta Kappa national honor society and Honda, the event sponsor.

“I am honored to congratulate these All-Ohio Academic Team members,” said Ohio Department of Higher Education Chancellor Mike Duffey. “Through their academic achievement and breadth of leadership, each will contribute to the strength and vitality of our state.”

"Being recognized as part of the All-Ohio Academic Team is a testament to the exceptional dedication and commitment these students have shown not only to their academic pursuits but also to their leadership roles and community service. As members of Phi Theta Kappa, they exemplify the values of scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship,” added DeAnn Hurtado, Sinclair Community College Professor of Management and Phi Theta Kappa Advisor.

The top-performing students were nominated by college faculty, staff and other campus leaders. Students recognized as first-team honorees will receive $500 scholarships, while second-team members earn $250 scholarships to assist students transferring on to universities to complete their bachelor’s degree requirements. The All-Ohio Academic Team also includes high-achieving students who are planning to move directly into the workforce. They also receive recognition and awards.
