The School of Communication Studies was well-represented with seven students listed on the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Fall Academic Honor Roll. The list recognizes fall sport student-athletes who achieved a 3.00 grade point average or greater for the academic year.
Vols from Communication Studies to make the honor roll include five members of the football team: Paul Bain, Zac Jancek, Riley Lovingood, Chip Omer and Austin Smith. Lovingood is currently working toward his master’s degree in Communication and Information with a concentration in Communication Studies.
Bunny Shaw and Riley O’Keefe from the soccer team also made the honor roll. During the fall, Shaw was the SEC Offensive Player of the Year and led the Jamaican soccer team to its first berth in the FIFA Women’s World Cup hosted by France, which begins in June.
The SEC also has a winter and spring academic honor roll, in addition to a first-year academic honor roll for freshmen and first-year transfers.
