to Marilyn Roseboro, an associate professor in the WSSU Department of Mass Communications and faculty advisor to the WSSU Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Team, and to the team itself for making the cut at in the 2010 Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Tournament in Orlando, Fla., April 10-13. The competition to make this year’s national tournament was especially stiff because the field was reduced from 64 teams to just 48.
The following students will represent WSSU:

Stephen Archie, Freshman Computer Science Major
Krista Brown, Sophomore Sport Management Major
Terrance Hobbs, Senior Mass Communications Major
The selection of the 48 institutions involved a review of: level of student participation; quality of promotional efforts; an institution’s historical record when attending the NCT (National Championship Tournament); results from the campus tournament in the current season; personnel changes materially affecting an institution’s potential preparedness, and other factors that addressed the need to raise the calibre of the field.
Honda Campus All-Star Challenge is the first-ever academic competition between students at America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Honda has sponsored the program since its inception. (www.hcasc.com)
