SYLVA-Martha Hall, of Sylva, is being honored today in Phoenix as one of 20 “USA Today All-USA Community College Academic Team” members.

Hall, 18, now a student of watershed hydrology at N.C. State University, was an active member of the Watershed Association of the Tuckasegee River while at SCC, with whom she helped secure grants, collected rainfall data and studied local streams. Hall also designed an award-winning filter that improved water quality in fish production tanks.

Nearly 1,450 students from 800 community colleges in 49 states and Guam were nominated for USA TODAY’s 2009 All-USA Community College Academic Team.
