Oakwood University Wins National Runner Up Title in Honda Competition
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on April 16, 2014 After 24 rounds of play, Oakwood University's Honda Campus All-Star Team was named "National Runner Up" in the Honda Campus All-Star Championship Tournament held in Torrance, Calif., this week earning an institutional grant of $25,000. They were defeated by the Bulldogs of Fisk University who earned an institutional grant of $50,000. This year marked Oakwood's 24th year participating in the competition and its 18th time qualifying for the National Championship Tournament. During the event's gala banquet, Rennae Elliott, Ph.D., chair of Oakwood's communication department and team coach was named Coach of the Year. Team member, Antoine Southern, was added to the Honda Campus Division All-Stars roster. "We are very proud of how well the Oakwood Team did in this year's competition," said Dr. Garland Dulan, vice president for academic administration. "And having our own being named as coach of the year and as a division all-star was just icing on the cake," he added. Since 1989, Honda Campus All-Star Challenge has engaged the best and brightest students at the HBCUs in its annual academic quiz championship -- the "HBCU Battle of Brains." Honda is proud of its relationship with the HBCUs, and in addition to sponsoring the competition, has awarded over $7 million in grants. Honda's participation highlights the quality of HBCU education, and the grants provide needed support for the institutions.
