Western Oklahoma State College recognized Sarah O’Hair and Christopher Dart as part of the 32 member All-Oklahoma Academic Team. The All-Oklahoma Academic Team was recognized on Thursday, March 6 at the 41st Annual Oklahoma Association of Community Colleges Conference in Midwest City.

The program provides statewide recognition to outstanding two-year college students. To be eligible, students must be nominated by their college president to the All-USA Academic Team. Nominees must be eligible to graduate during the 2008-2009 academic year and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25.

Oklahoma is one of 35 states participating in the state academic team program. The state academic teams were introduced in 1994 as a way to provide scholastic recognition to community college students, while promoting excellence at two-year colleges.

The state academic teams are a division of the Academic All-American Team for Community, Technical and Junior College Students, an international program sponsored annually by Phi Theta Kappa, USA TODAY and the American Association of Community Colleges.
