Professor Robert Krol and All-American Volleyball player Eric Vance Eric received a Certificate of Excellence Award from the Department of Economics last May. Eric led the Matadors men’s volleyball team this season, both as team captain and on the court. With his athletic achievements and outstanding grades (he received the top men’s award at the recent Varsity “N” awards event for scholar-athletes for his 4.0 gpa last year), he is to be awarded one of four campus Outstanding Graduating Senior awards at the Honors Convocation on May 18th. Congratulations Eric!
