Two BC3 students make All-Pennsylvania Academic Team
Butler County Community College students Bailey Bevington, 20, of Worthington, and Daniel Hamilton, 21, of Zelienople, have been selected to Phi Theta Kappa’s 2024 All-Pennsylvania Academic Team and will be honored April 2 in Harrisburg.
Students nominated to the All-Pennsylvania Academic Team must be enrolled in a transfer program at a Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges institution such as BC3.
Nominees must have earned a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.5 while completing at least 36 credits and demonstrate a commitment to their community college and communities.
Bevington is a psychology student at BC3 @ Armstrong in Ford City and a 2022 graduate of Armstrong Junior-Senior High School in Kittanning. She plans to transfer to Indiana University of Pennsylvania to pursue a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She intends to become an adolescent therapist to “help children to lead successful lives.”
Hamilton is a general studies student at BC3 @ Cranberry in Cranberry Township and a 2021 graduate of Seneca Valley Senior High in Harmony. He expects to transfer to Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania to pursue a bachelor’s degree in resort recreation and hospitality management. His goal is to own a restaurant because “even as a kid, I would always jump in the kitchen and ask my grandparents if I could help” make dinner.
For their efforts, Bevington and Hamilton will each receive a full scholarship to the 4-year state school of their choice.
Students selected to the All-Pennsylvania Academic Team have been awarded a scholarship from the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education since 2001.
