MUSCLE SHOALS & PHIL CAMPBELL– Carly O’Dell and Keenan Sparks were recently selected to the 2016 All-Alabama Academic Team for Northwest-Shoals Community College (NW-SCC) and honored Friday, April 15, 2016, at the All-Alabama Academic Team Recognition Luncheon in Montgomery, Ala.
O’Dell, a native of Rogersville, currently is majoring in Computer Engineering at NW-SCC and plans to transfer to Auburn University.
Sparks, a Red Bay native, currently is majoring in Pre-Engineering at NW-SCC and plans to attend the University of Alabama to earn a Bachelor and Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering.
The faculty and staff of NW-SCC nominate students from each campus of the college. The criteria for voting for a student is to choose students who “excel academically; demonstrate intellectual rigor in their course of study; show academic growth and potential; and use their two-year college education to better themselves, their schools and their communities.”
All nominees are presented to the national Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society for final selection. Each community college in Alabama has two representatives.
The Alabama College System’s All-Alabama Academic Team Recognition Program was established in 1995 as an enhancement to the All-USA National Academic Team Recognition Program, which is sponsored by the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, the American Association of Community Colleges and USA Today.
