Put student-athletes in 'Kudos'

To The Editor:

As an avid reader of the Reporter online (in New York City), I believe that you have left out of your "Kudos" column some very important people at UB. These people have brought honor to the school this academic year.

There has been no credit given to the numerous student-athletes who have put the word "student" in the phrase "student-athlete." Athletes on both the men's and women's teams have won honors for their academic prowess, combined with their athletic skills.

I believe credit should be given to all of these students, as well as their coaches and the administrators in the athletic department. It is through the coaches and administrators who assist the student-athletes that the student-athletes are able to excel in the classroom, as well as on the fields of play.

Therefore, kudos and a tip of the hat to the true student-athletes at UB who should be recognized in the Reporter. It is these student-athletes that make me feel proud to be a graduate of the top school in the SUNY system.
