Dean's List students named at State Farm recognition event on Feb. 15
By Staff | February 2014
Virginia Wesleyan Scholar-Athletes were honored for their academic accomplishments on Saturday, February 15 during a halftime 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 were named to the Dean's List for the fall 2013 semester. Dean's List recognizes students who achieve a grade point average of 3.5 or above, which indicates 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, Jessica Hester, and Joe Query made this possible and VWC thanks them for their continued support of Marlin athletics.
On hand for the event was State Farm Agent Jessica Hester.
Recipients were congratulated by VWC faculty representatives and advisors including Virginia Wesleyan President Dr. William T. "Billy" Greer, who commended the students for their remarkable efforts.
