The All-Oregon Academic Team Luncheon honors Oregon community college students selected to the All-Oregon Academic Team. This honor recognizes high-achieving two-year college students who demonstrate academic excellence and intellectual rigor combined with leadership and service that extends their education beyond the classroom to benefit society.
Phi Theta Kappa honor society, community college presidents and community college state associations sponsor the All-State Community College Academic Team ceremonies in 38 participating states. Students from the 38 participating states nominated to the All-USA Community College Academic Team are automatically named to the All-State Community College Academic Teams.
Students receive medallions and certificates at the state-level recognition ceremony (luncheon), along with scholarships (applicable students). The purpose of the team is to honor academic excellence, celebrate students’ contributions to their communities, promote the value and vital role community colleges play in shaping workforce and leaders, and to provide scholarships to help students achieve their academic and career goals.
