Fall 2016 Scholar Athletes Honored

President's and Dean's List students named at State Farm Scholar Athlete Recognition ceremony Feb. 18

Fall 2016 Scholar Athletes News Release | February 20, 2017

Virginia Wesleyan athletes were honored for their academic accomplishments this past Saturday, February 18, during a special State Farm/VWC Scholar-Athlete Recognition ceremony in the Convocation Center inside the Jane P. Batten Student Center.

The scholar-athletes recognized were those who are a member of at least one NCAA Division III athletic team at VWC and who were named to the President’s List or the Dean's List for the fall 2016 semester. The President’s List is awarded to students earning a 4.0 GPA and Dean’s List is awarded to students who earn at least a 3.5 GPA. Both indicate a careful balance among course work, co-curricular activities and athletics.

State Farm partnered with Virginia Wesleyan College to sponsor the Scholar-Athlete Recognition. State Farm agents Larry Akers, Rhonda Floasin, Pierre Granger, Jessica Hester, and Joe Query made this possible, and the College thanks them for their continued support of Marlin athletics.
