Ranking on the All-State team is determined by the student&#8217;s score in the national competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caldwell and Tran are among 76 California nominees representing 40 colleges throughout the state that are receiving awards. President and CEO of the CCLC Scott Lay said, \u201cThese students are amazing and were a small subset of the 1,700 nominees from Phi Theta Kappa chapters across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caldwell has served as vice president of Palomar\u2019s Alpha Omega Rho chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), which has three faculty advisors, Katy French, associate professor of library technology; Katie Townsend-Merino, associate professor of psychology; and Rachel Horn-Langford, sociology instructor.<\/p>\n<p>French said of Caldwell, \u201cMaylin possesses the energy, attitude and communication skills of a great leader\u2026. she is devoted to improving herself and the lives of others.\u00a0\u00a0 As Vice President of Service, Maylin spearheaded and coordinated a fundraising campaign for local area foster youth.\u00a0 Her excitement about the project was infectious and led many in our community to donate money, toys and books to local foster youth.\u00a0 I witnessed her drive and persistence as she approached individuals to ask for their support and made her way around the campus collecting donations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Townsend-Merino said of Anh Tran, \u201cI have rarely had a student work harder or excel more\u2026. He is not only a superior student, but his strong personal qualities recommend him as a scholarship participant. Anh is a very mature, warm and caring young man. He acts as a leader without intellectual snobbery, readily agrees to help other students (and is currently tutoring in our Gear Up program) and cares deeply about his contributions to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a wonderful honor for these two students and for Palomar College. We are very proud,\u201d said Superintendent\/President Robert P.
