57 Prairie View A&M student-athletes, support staff set to earn degrees

PRAIRIE VIEW – A total of 57 Prairie View A&M student-athletes and athletics support staff members are slated to earn their degrees following the conclusion of the spring semester, including one master’s degree.

Nearly every athletics program at PVAMU will be represented during spring commencement, set to be held virtually on May 9 at 10 a.m. Additionally, the departments of sports information, equipment, and sports medicine will have at least one graduate.

Defensive lineman Stephen Scott will receive a master’s degree in Special Education Curriculum and Instruction.

This year’s crop of spring graduates leaves behind quite the athletic legacy, with nearly 20 of them having played for a conference championship-winning team during their time on the Hill. Additionally, the group features All-SWAC honorees such as Dawonya Tucker (Football), Crystal Castillo (Softball), Christen Augustine (Volleyball), and record holders like Sunne Rodriguez-Weems (Men’s Track) and Kaisha Roberts (Women’s Track).
