MCC Students Named to All-Massachusetts Academic Team

Four Middlesex Community College students have been recognized as outstanding two-year college students and members of Phi Theta Kappa’s 2016 All-Massachusetts Academic Team.

Hans-Edward Hoene of Woburn, Paulina Llorente Gonzalez of Concord, Jacqueline Crozy of Lowell, and Betzy Villavicencio of Lawrence were honored during a recent ceremony at the State House.

Every year, the Massachusetts Community Colleges Executive Office hosts the event to showcase the best and brightest of the 15-college system.

Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society for two-year colleges, the Coca-Cola Foundation, community college presidents, and community college state associations annually co-sponsor the All-State Academic Teams.

For 97 years, Phi Theta Kappa has recognized and encouraged scholarship among community college students, while promoting the academic integrity of the associate degree program. Students with grade point averages of 3.5 or higher are invited to join Phi Theta Kappa.
