Shawntanay Johnson (track and field) and Wes Rogers (Football) have been named the Scholar Athletes of the Month for January.
Shawntanay Johnson-Women’s Track & Field-Senior-Human Development & Family Studies
“Shawntanay is our little ball of positive energy. Shawntanay has been dedicated to raising her GPA and becoming a better student. The past fall, she finished with her highest semester GPA to date! Shawntanay is the perfect illustration of what is possible once a student-athlete realizes their full academic potential and makes the commitment to live up to it.” –Aurea Young, Academic Advisor
Wes Rogers-Football-Junior-Management
“This past fall Wes showed a tremendous improvement in his commitment to academics which resulted in his highest GPA since arriving at IU in the summer of 2011. Wes’ leadership ability began to surface off the field as evidenced by the quality time he spent setting a positive example for his teammates in the academic center. Wes did a great job of utilizing his resources and proved on many occasions that his academic performance is a priority. I believe Wes has tremendous potential and I am extremely proud to see him achieving at this level. I look forward to seeing him evolve even more as he approaches graduation.” –Tasha Buchmiller, Assistant Academic Advisor
