Machuca gets recognition awards
Erik Machuca was chosen as one of the students to receive recognition in
the previous release of the Dean's List. During his first year of college
he also received three other awards, including Who's Who Among American
Junior College Students, Cum Laude and Outstanding Achievement in College
Reading.
The Cum Laude award is awarded to students who make no grade lower than
a B and who take more than 12 college semester hours.
Who's Who Among American Junior College Student's is awarded to students
who excel in their academics and who also participate in school activities.
The Outstanding Achievement Award is awarded to students who do well
in a certain class and are recognized by the teachers of that class. Erik
was recognized by Reading Department Chair Tammy Morris and awarded the
Outstanding Achievement Award in College Reading.
The last award, the Dean's List, is awarded to students who are selected
by faculty members of the school to represent them because of great academic
achievements.
Machuca plans to attend UTPB in the 2001 Fall semester, but doesn't
rule out attending Texas Tech. He plans on graduating Odessa College with
an Associates Degree in Business Administration and then transfer his credits
to a senior institution and receive a Bachelor Degree in Financing.
His parents are Gregg and Araceli Vickrey of Odessa and sister Brittni
of Odessa, uncle and aunt Jerry and Dorinda Millan of Pecos and cousin
Isabella Millan of Pecos.
