Conway (Jan. 14)- Two students from 兔子先生 have been selected to compete
at the state level for a chance to compete nationally in USA TODAY鈥檚 All-USA Community
College Academic Team. The academic team recognizes exceptional students at the nation鈥檚
community colleges. Judges consider grades, academic rigor, growth and how well the
students use their education to benefit their schools and communities. The program
is administered by Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society.
Lesley Bement (top), formerly a student loan officer at a bank, has earned her certificate in Medical Coding and Billing, and expects to complete her Associate Degree in Applied Science in General Technology at HGTC in August.

Shannon Dudasik (bottom) returned to college after having two children. She earned
an Associate in Arts degree, and was selected to appear in HGTC鈥檚 marketing campaign,
鈥淢y College, My Way.鈥� She is enrolled at Coastal Carolina University to pursue a bachelor鈥檚
degree.
The competition will be held March 18, in Columbia.
