SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Winston-Salem State University (WSSU ) Department of Athletics is proud to announce that 92 student-athletes finished the spring semester and were recognized on the Dean’s List.

All 12 varsity athletic programs, along with the cheerleaders, were represented among the 92 student-athletes, with at least two student-athletes for each program. The football team led the way with 24 honorees, while the women’s volleyball team had nine, tops among the women’s programs.

Students are eligible to be named to the Dean’s List at the end of each semester based on a student’s status as a full-time student (12 semester hours and above). Dean’s List honors are awarded only to those students who earn a scholastic grade point aver-age of 3.0 or higher in 12 or more credit hours of graded coursework at WSSU in an academic semester, with no grade below C and no incomplete (I) grades on the report.

“In order to be a student-athlete, it takes dedication and time management in the classroom and on the fields of competition. WSSU Athletics takes much pride in providing the athletes the resources and tools necessary to succeed,” says Director of Athletics Tonia Walker.

“We are thankful for the strong partnership of the UCALL (University College and Lifelong Learning) staff, their time and effort to monitor and guide our student-athletes academically.  This type of academic success speaks to the coaches and athletic staff who are constantly supporting their teams in the classroom and being a part of positive encouragement for their Winston-Salem State University education”, added Walker.
