Suffolk County Community College announced today that Joseph Gonzalez has been selected as one of 20 college students nationwide named to the prestigious 2024 All-USA Academic Team. Selected from more than 2,200 nominees, Mr. Gonzalez will receive a $5,000 scholarship. He will also be recognized during the American Association of Community Colleges’ (AACC) annual convention in Louisville, KY in April.

Gonzalez was recognized for his academic achievements, campus and community engagement and overall leadership. A Liberal Arts-History major from West Babylon, NY, he excels with a 4.0 GPA and consecutive Dean's List recognition for the last two years. He holds key leadership positions, including PTK Chapter President, President of Student Veterans of America, Honors Club President, and History Club Vice President. Gonzalez is a Get There From Here scholar and an EOP Tutor.

“One cornerstone of Suffolk County Community College’s dedication to excellence is fostering an academically rigorous environment for our students and avenues in which they can excel," said Dr. Edward Bonahue, President of Suffolk County Community College. "We take great pride in Joseph’s achievements and applaud him for his perseverance, dedication, and remarkable contributions to both academic and community service endeavors.”

The All-USA program is among the nation’s premier academic honors for students pursuing an associate degree. The program, sponsored by education technology provider Cengage in collaboration with Phi Theta Kappa, also honors students who leverage their community college experience to better themselves, improve their schools and impact their communities.

The PTK All-USA Community College Academic Team seeks to recognize excellent students from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. Students must excel in the classroom, demonstrate the intellectual curiosity to pursue academic, career and cultural enrichment outside the classroom, and show evidence of substantial development of talents in academic and technical education and an ability to share this development with others.
