WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- The CIAA’s first full-time female commissioner made a stop in the Twin City last week to congratulate Winston-Salem State University on its athletic and academic accomplishments.
Jacque Carpenter gave high praise to WSSU during the remarks she delivered April 25 at the school’s 2013 Athletic Celebration Awards Luncheon at Benton Convention Center.
“Winston-Salem, you are the bomb,” she said to a crowd of hundreds. “There are people who are mad about what you do. You never missed a step in coming back into the (CIAA) conference (from the MEAC). Your teams are nationally known – Winston-Salem is on the map. You’re part of the top 20 teams in the country, not just for HBCUs … not just for athletics, but for academics.”
WSSU is currently home to three CIAA Championship teams – including the Men’s Tennis squad, which landed the title for the first time in school history – and 115 student-athletes made the Dean’s List this year, according to school officials.
