CPASS sport management graduate and guard for WVU men’s basketball, Jevon Carter, was named Male Athlete of the Year at the 2018 Blue and Golden Globe Awards.
Overall, 260 Mountaineers were acknowledged for GPAs of 3.0 or better and 40 of those were honored for 4.0 GPAs. The top graduating senior from each Mountaineer program invited his or her most influential professor to the awards banquet and, as the top graduating senior out of men’s basketball, Carter chose to bring his longtime adviser Theresa Scafella. “She’s been with me since my freshman year … put me in all the right classes I needed to make sure that I was on time to graduate,” Carter said.
Other CPASS awardees included head Men’s Basketball Coach Bob Huggins, CPASS Outstanding Alumnus, who was named Coach of the Year and women’s soccer team forward Michaela Abam, a 2018 CPASS athletic coaching education graduate, who was named Female Athlete of the Year.
