Merritt is pleased to congratulate three of our amazing Merritt Students! Jasmine Buckley-Williams, Laura Savre, and James Toalu were all just named as 2023 Phi Theta Kappa All-California Community College Award Recipients. This recognition underscores the tremendous work of our PTK Chapter, and serves as a reminder of the outstanding scholarship/community service in which our students are engaged. The Community College League of California will honor these students in an official 2023 PTK Award Yearbook and celebrate their accomplishments on social media as well.

Ms. Buckley-Williams recently completed her studies here at Merritt College and now attends San Diego State, where she is pursuing degrees in legal studies and business administration. Ms. Savre is working to complete an Associate of Arts degree in Social and Behavioral Science and an Associate of Arts Transfer degree in Psychology. She is an “A” student, was accepted recently to Sacramento State University, and aspires to earn a doctorate one day. Mr. Toalu studies Cybersecurity at Merritt, and currently serves as the ICC representative to the ASMC. He is also a candidate for the Phi Theta Kappa’s Regional Vice President of Technology Office.
