On May 9, family and friends came out to celebrate those students who have made exceptional achievements during their time at QCC. The Annual Honors and Awards Ceremony was held at Hebert Auditorium and recognized students for their high academic achievements, college and community involvement.

Students who were honored included those in the Honors Program; graduates who are Veterans; members of the honors society Phi Theta Kappa (PTK); members of the psychology honor society Psi Beta; Engineering Student Distinction Award; Distinguished Service Awards for Clubs & Major Organizations, and students who completed the Student Leadership Academy and Academic Achievement awards.

This year, 92 PTK Honor Society students received their gold stoles. To qualify a student must have a minimum of two community service events, while maintaining a 3.5 cumulative GPA received a gold stole.

“A total of 150 PTK students graduated this year and approximately 87 percent of them are transferring to a four-year institution,” said PTK Advisor Bonnie Coleman.

Special recognition awards were given to 10 students who were honored for their achievements and contributions to the college that occurred outside the framework of student organizations and whose individual efforts might otherwise go unnoticed.

Other awards conferred that evening included:

  • The Francis X. Gardner Psychology Achievement Award - Ethan Brochetta-Platt
  • The Nancy O’Han Memorial Award - Corey Ball
  • The Rose Caprioli Memorial Award - Leslie Soto
  • The Jean Smelewicz Award for Computer Information Systems – Elias Slaybi
  • The Robert J. McDonald Award – Thomas French
  • The 2018 Wyvern Award – Dana Peary
  • The 2018 Outstanding Male Student Athlete - Johnny Dombrowkski
  • The 2018 Outstanding Female Student Athlete – Shelby Maiorana
