COCC STUDENT SCHOLARS CHOSEN FOR "ALL-STATE ACADEMIC TEAM"
COCC students Frank Dyess and Christina Thuerwachter have been chosen from a pool of 10 nominees as COCC’s representatives to this year’s “All-State Academic Team.”
The event, organized by the Oregon Community College Association, recognizes community college students for their academic achievement, leadership and service. On Tuesday, April 18, the students will attend a brunch in their honor and meet with Gov. Ted Kulongoski at the capitol.
While maintaining a 3.95 grade-point average, Dyess has tutored anatomy and physiology, microbiology and biology, works at the COCC Library and volunteers at the Deschutes County Veteran’s Service Office. He will be transferring to the Oregon Institute of Technology to major in nuclear medicine technology and hopes to continue his work in neurological studies.
Thuerwachter has earned a 3.57 grade-point average while pursuing a degree in general science before transferring to the University of Oregon. She plans to earn a doctorate degree in biochemistry with the goal of a careers in academia, science writing or research. She is active in student study groups, a member of the American Association of University Women, coordinator of the German Round Table and member of the Order of Magnitude.
Representatives of all of Oregon's 17 community colleges will participate in the event. Each scholar is eligible for a scholarship from most of Oregon's public and private four-year institutions if they apply and are accepted at their school of choice.
"The scholars have significant reason to be proud of this recognition," said Andrea Henderson, executive director of the Oregon Community College Association. "They were chosen from more than 378,000 community college students as the best from each college."
Julie Alberts, Heather Van Diest, Jorma C. Fletcher, Daniel Gillogley, Jake Grimm, Curt Kaler, Kaira Roos, and Tanayia L. White were also nominated to represent the college.
