HUMPHRIES HONORED BY Black Issues in Higher
Education
 DENTON,
Texas – Sophomore Kelley Humphries was named
to the 2005 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars Women’s Basketball
first team announced by Black Issues in Higher Education.
Black Issues in Higher Education established the Sports Scholars
Awards to honor undergraduate students of color who have made
achieving both academically
and athletically a winning combination. The Awards were inspired by tennis
legend Ashe Jr.’s commitment to education as well as his love for the
game of tennis.
Humphries was also named to the 2005 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District
VI College Division Women’s Basketball Team and Lone Star Conference
South Division Commissioner’s Honor Roll this season for her academic
efforts. While maintaining a perfect 4.0 grade point average, she started all
but two games for the Pioneers and averaged 3.4 points and 3.6 rebounds a game.
She received the 2004-05 Jo Kuhn Award, which honors outstanding leadership,
at the annual TWU Awards Banquet. Humphries was named a 2005 TWU Emerging Student
Leader at the University's annual Red Bud Awards during Homecoming as well.
Humphries also serves as President of the TWU Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee (SAAC). This past fall semester,
SAAC collected cans to benefit the Denton
Chapter of the American Red Cross, adopted needy children who live on campus
and whose mothers attend TWU, and held an "Afternoon with Santa" Christmas
party in which toys were distributed to the children. SAAC raised the funds
for the toys, bought them, wrapped them and organized the party under Humphries’ leadership.
In addition, she is a member of the 2004 and 2005 TWU Dean’s List
and a recipient of a TWU Presidential Scholarship for graduating second
in her
high school class. Humphries also receives a Kitty Magee Scholarship which
awards outstanding academic and athletics achievements.
