You can read more about Momei and Marcus in their respective profiles, as well as brief profiles of the female and male finalists for the award. That is a new highlight as is our partnership with The New York Times in which our two award winners and four finalists will be featured in the Times’ Play magazine on June 1.
Every year we encourage all college and universities to nominate their eligible student-athletes. So if you missed this year’s deadline, there’s always next year.
In the meantime, we have several interesting articles in this edition related to collegiate sports. In addition to the profiles of the student-athletes, we report on the first HBCU — the University of Maryland Eastern Shore — to receive a PGA Professional Golf Management Program; staying with golf, Lydia Lum reports on the growing popularity of the sport in Korea, which is producing top players for U.S. college teams; and Ibram Rogers reports on a Texas A&M University/ NCAA partnership, which recognizes college athletic programs for their diversity and diversity practices.
