A Scholarly Winner At MCC

Kathleen Frailey, a Phi Theta Kappa student at McHenry County College, has been named a Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Gold Scholar. The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation sponsors the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team program by recognizing 50 Gold, 50 Silver and 50 Bronze scholars, and providing nearly $187,500 in stipends annually.

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society administers the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Program and recognizes Coca-Cola Community College scholars during All-State Community College Academic Team Recognition ceremonies held in 37 states.  Student scholars also receive local recognition during ceremonies held on campus.

Community college presidents or their designated nominators may submit no more than two nominations per campus for this award. An independent panel of judges considers outstanding academic rigor, grade point average, academic and leadership awards, and engagement in college and community service in the selection process.

“We are so pleased that Kathleen has received this distinguished honor,” said MCC Phi Theta Kappa advisor, Heidi Haegerich. “MCC is proud of her and the work that she has accomplished, and it is encouraging to know that she is being recognized for this at the national level.”
