Tri-C’s Oktay Adatepe Named to All-Ohio Academic Team

Woodmere resident one of nine students honored from Cuyahoga Community College

Oktay Adatepe in campus rec centerOktay Adatepe of Woodmere was one of nine students from Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) named to the All-Ohio Community College Academic Team, which comprises top students at the state’s two-year schools.

The All-Ohio Academic Team recognizes student excellence in academics, leadership and community service. Sixty-eight students from across the state were selected for this year’s team on the basis of their outstanding records.

Tri-C had more students named All-Ohio than any other school.

Adatepe, who received third-team honors, expects to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in sport and exercise studies from Tri-C this spring. After graduation, he plans to transfer to a four-year school to pursue a bachelor’s degree in exercise science.

Aside from his academic honors, Adatepe launched a sport and recreation club at Eastern Campus and serves as president of the group. He is also a Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Scholar.

In addition, he helped bring The Voting Experience exhibit to Tri-C campuses last fall to register voters and encourage participation in the political process. He became involved with the effort after being named a Democracy Fellow with the Fair Election Center’s Campus Vote Project.

Adatepe joined the following Tri-C students — designated by campus — as All-Ohio:

  • Eastern Campus: Yudai Yamamoto of Woodmere (third team)
  • Metropolitan Campus: Jamillah Murdock of University Heights (third team), Andrea Searcy of Cleveland (third team) and Samantha Stauffer of North Olmsted (third team)
  • Western Campus: Macon Hoover of Brunswick (third team) and Shahzeb Malik of Strongsville (first team)
  • Westshore Campus: Joseph Dzingeleski of Lakewood (first team) and Matthew Phillips of North Ridgeville (third team)

First-team honorees will receive $1,000 scholarships, while second-team members get $500 scholarships and third-team members $250. Team members are recognized by the state in April as part of Community College Month.

The All-Ohio Academic Team program is supported by the Ohio Association of Community Colleges, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and Honda of America Mfg. Inc.
