“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Madison, Alyk, Miranda and Jenna, four of our most outstanding students,” said Dr. Nicole Roades, President of Southern State Community College, “On behalf of Southern State, we could not be more proud to have these fine individuals affiliated with our college. I am pleased to see them rewarded and honored for their academic commitment and personal discipline.”
These top-performing students were nominated by SSCC faculty and staff to receive the scholarships, which will assist in transferring 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.
