WSU "Excellence in Academics" Athletes by marilyn

WSU "Excellence in Academics" Athletes

We went to the Cougar basketball game last night (they won!) and I was very impressed with the halftime "entertainment." Each student athlete who has maintained a 3.0 or higher GPA throughout the past 2 semesters (1 semester for freshmen) was individually introduced and each received an award with the "Excellence in Academics" insignia. Pretty good representation of the focus on "student" rather than "athlete!"
Cool capture for an important ceremony! Nice to know they emphasize the important part of college!

@grammyn I think it's pretty cool that they recognize them at a major sporting event so lots of people have the opportunity to share in their honor.
