| GSCC News Students Named to All-Alabama Academic Team Two young women with 4.0 grade point averages have been selected to represent Gadsden State Community College as members of the All-Alabama Academic team. Courtney Davis of Glencoe and Jada Tiffany Mathis of Oxford will be honored at a dinner in Birmingham during April, where they will be awarded certificates and scholarships. All-Alabama Academic team members are nominated by the faculty and are then selected by a committee that reviews all of the applications. Courtney attends the Wallace Drive Campus and is majoring in early childhood education. She plans to transfer to Auburn and obtain a bachelor’s degree, with a goal of becoming a kindergarten teacher and a girl’s varsity basketball coach. Jada, a student at the Ayers Campus and McClellan Center in the general studies program, plans to attend the University of Alabama at Birmingham and earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing, with an emphasis on obstetrics. She then plans to use her acquired skills to glorify Christ in the mission field. Each community college in Alabama has two nominees. The All-Alabama Academic team nominees are also entered in the All-USA Academic team competition, sponsored by USA Today and Phi Theta Kappa. National winners earn scholarships and special recognition, including being featured in the USA Today newspaper. |
