Students Nominated for<br />
All-USA Academic Team<br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Juan</strong> <strong>College</strong> students Cristol Martinez and Nicki<br />
Villasenor were recognized for <strong>their</strong> nominati<strong>on</strong> to the<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>2013</str<strong>on</strong>g> New Mexico All-State and All-USA Academic Teams<br />
<strong>on</strong> February 20 during a cerem<strong>on</strong>y in <strong>San</strong>ta Fe during the state<br />
legislative sessi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
In additi<strong>on</strong> to the All-State h<strong>on</strong>or, Martinez was also named<br />
a <str<strong>on</strong>g>2013</str<strong>on</strong>g> Coca-Cola Community <strong>College</strong> Academic Team Silver<br />
Scholar. Only 50 silver scholars are named from the entire<br />
country and each receives a $1,250 scholarship and a special<br />
medalli<strong>on</strong>.<br />
Cristol Martinez Prior to enrolling at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Juan</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Martinez was working<br />
in a bank but decided she wanted a better career. Originally<br />
from Bloomfield and currently living in Farmingt<strong>on</strong>, Martinez<br />
completed the Medical Laboratory Technician program in<br />
December but c<strong>on</strong>tinues to take courses that are prerequisites<br />
to her bachelor’s degree. She plans to attend UNM and enter the<br />
medical laboratory scientist program.<br />
“It took a lot of work because the MLT program is so<br />
demanding,” Martinez said. “It wasn’t easy but the program was<br />
very rewarding and I enjoyed the entire experience. I wanted to<br />
show my five kids that anything is possible and to never give up.<br />
The faculty at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Juan</strong> <strong>College</strong> was always helpful and supportive.<br />
They really encouraged and nourished the relati<strong>on</strong>ships with<br />
students and am<strong>on</strong>g students.”<br />
Nicki Villasenor Nicki Villasenor will graduate in the spring of 2014 with a<br />
degree in biology. Villasenor is working toward a degree in biology and will then pursue a<br />
Bachelor’s degree and career in Ecology. She hopes to <strong>on</strong>e day find a job in rec<strong>on</strong>ciliati<strong>on</strong><br />
ecology, where scientists incorporate wild species back into a human-dominated habitat, to<br />
teach humans and animals to live with each other as opposed to living separately.<br />
“Before I began attending <strong>San</strong> <strong>Juan</strong> <strong>College</strong>, I didn’t even know what I wanted to do<br />
in my life,” Villasenor said. “After a few biology courses, I realized that I wanted to pursue<br />
biology further. I want to make a difference in this world and now I feel I can. I didn’t feel like I<br />
had that before I attended <strong>San</strong> <strong>Juan</strong> <strong>College</strong>.”<br />
Both students were nominated for the All-State and All-USA Academic Team by <strong>San</strong> <strong>Juan</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>’s Office of the President. In additi<strong>on</strong> to evaluating outstanding classroom achievement,<br />
judges also c<strong>on</strong>sider how the students apply <strong>their</strong> academic, intellectual or leadership<br />
skills to benefit <strong>their</strong> campus and community.<br />
