Tucson, AZ – Twelve Pima Community College students have been named to the 2012 All-Arizona Academic teams for Phi Theta Kappa Society.

“On behalf of the entire College, we offer our heartfelt congratulations to these fine scholars,” said Dr. Suzanne Miles, PCC Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor. “Their accomplishments serve as a fitting reminder of what can be achieved with hard work and determination.”

The students join community college students from around the state who are selected each year based upon academic achievement, leadership and service to the community.

All PCC team members receive scholarships from the College, as well as two-year Arizona Board of Regents tuition waivers for any Arizona public university. All are eligible for selection to the All-USA Academic Team. The All-Arizona selections will be honored Wednesday, February 22, 2012, at Phoenix East Mesa Hilton, 1011 W. Holmes Ave., in Mesa.
