Santiago Ponce is honored.

Santiago Avila Ponce of Asheboro, a Radiography student, was honored as Randolph Community College’s 2016 Academic Excellence Award winner on Thursday by Dr. Robert S. Shackleford, RCC president, who presented Ponce with a medallion and plaque.

Ponce is one of 58 students from each community college in North Carolina who are being recognized in April for academic excellence. AEA selection requirements are consistent with Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society criteria. Students must be currently enrolled, must have completed at least 12 semester hours in an associate degree program, and must have a cumulative grade point average of no less than 3.25. A committee at RCC selected the final recipient based on faculty recommendations.
