Several students from the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville were recognized during the 26th annual Student Life Awards ceremony Wednesday, which was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the awards ceremony, which was sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs, students were recognized in several categories: student organization leadership, service within residence life, athletics and achievement.
The Student Leadership Award is given annually to a second-year student who has made outstanding contributions to student life at Pitt-Titusville. This year the campus honored Alyssa Colsher, a pre-nursing major from Reading, and Janet Sabol, a nursing major from Union City. The award recipients were selected based on campus nominations for their involvement and leadership in student organizations.
Student organizations recognizing members at the event were the American Chemical Society, Cheerleaders, Phi Theta Kappa, Student Activities Board, and the Student Organization of the Nursing Program.
Phi Theta Kappa inducted five new members into its national honor society. Three of the organization’s officers inducted the new members for their scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship, which are hallmarks of the honor society.
The new Phi Theta Kappa members are Athena Lamey, a pre-nursing major, Jerime Sampson, a pre-nursing major, Karen Sornson, a psychology major, and Roxanna VanWormer, a pre-nursing major, all from Titusville; and Sarah Wright, a natural science major from Corry.
The athletes were recognized for their contribution to student life on the volleyball and basketball courts.
Izaiah Dickerson, a business major from Washington, D.C., and Simeal Wofford, an undeclared major from Erie, were recognized for being named to the WPCC Men’s Basketball All-Conference Team.
The WPCC recognizes athletes for their academic achievements as well each term.
For the fall term, Noelle Berardi, a physical therapist assistant major from New Wilmington, Wofford, and Colton Phillips, a business major from Saint Johns, Florida, were named to the WPCC All-Academic Team.
In addition, Lindsey Kantz, a physical therapist assistant major from Hartstown, Miller, Abigail Schall, a physical therapist assistant major from Franklin, Renee Stolz, an engineering major from Union City, Meagan Wynn, a psychology major from Pleasantville, and Dickerson were named to the WPCC High Honors All-Academic Team for earning a 3.5 GPA or higher.
