Two Mt. SAC students named to State Academic Teams
Mt. San Antonio College students Adam Prohoroff and Bijal Toprani are two of the 75 community college students throughout the state recently selected for the 2009 All-California Academic teams, chosen by Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the international community college honor society.
Prohoroff and Toprani, both students in Mt. SAC's Honors Program, received medallions and cash stipends during the Community College League of California's awards ceremony held at the Sacramento Convention Center on March 23. The academic team award is based on grades, leadership, and community service.
Prohoroff, 21, is currently an accounting/economics student at Mt. SAC and carries a 4.0 GPA. He was selected for the All-California Academic First Team. A Phillips Ranch resident, Prohoroff is active in Mt. SAC's PTK chapter, student government, and accounting club. He is also an English tutor through Mt. SAC's Learning Assistance Center. He plans to transfer to Claremont McKenna and go on to law school.
Toprani, 19, is a sociology major and carries a 3.48 GPA. She was named to the All-California Academic Third Team. A resident of Diamond Bar, Toprani is the service vice president for PTK at Mt. SAC and is active with the college's student government, Interclub Council, and accounting club. She works as a tutor at Mt. SAC's Writing Center. Toprani plans to transfer to UCLA and eventually become a lawyer.
The 25 first-team, 25 second-team, and 25 third-team winners represent some of the best of the 2.6 million students enrolled in California's community college system.
