Tri-C’s Kylie Cianciolo Named to All-Ohio Academic Team

Fairview Park resident one of 12 honored from Cuyahoga Community College

Kylie Cianciolo of Fairview Park was one of a dozen 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. Seventy-three 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. 

Cianciolo, who received first-team honors, is set to graduate from Tri-C in May with two degrees — an Associate of Arts and an Associate of Science. She intends to transfer to Baldwin Wallace University this fall to study philosophy. 

She was named Westshore Campus Student of the Year in 2020. Cianciolo also served as a student ambassador at the campus, worked as an intern and completed the Student Leadership Certificate Program. 

The All-Ohio honor follows her selection as a national 2021 Coca-Cola Academic Team Scholar. She is a member of the Phi Theta Kappa chapter at Westshore. 

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

• Eastern Campus: Charese Harrison of Maple Heights (first team), Nicole Kaib of North Royalton (third team) and Isabel Ruiz-Flint of Solon (first team)
• Metropolitan Campus: Jameelah Johnson of Cleveland (third team) and Stellah Ottichilo of Cleveland (third team)
• Western Campus: Geri Bakushi of Lakewood (first team), Tavia Pearson of Cleveland (third team) and Janice Willier of New Orleans, Louisiana (third team)
• Westshore Campus: Sara Alnaasan of North Olmsted (first team), Lindsay Gunn of Bay Village (third team) and Catherine Parchem of Westlake (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.
