\n\t\tOnly recipient from A-10 this year<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. — March 14, 2005 — During the annual 溏心vlog免费B站 dean\u2019s list reception for student-athletes, Joy Hess spoke about the value of using time well.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cTime is valuable, it is non-refundable and it goes quickly,\u201d said the field hockey star from Ephrata, Pa. during the wintertime reception.<\/p>\n


\n\tHess obviously maximized her time and talents well at 溏心vlog免费B站 because she has been named the first NCAA Fall Post Graduate Scholarship recipient in the history of the University. A communicative disorders major who has a grade point average of 3.9, Hess was the only student-athlete from the Atlantic 10 to be awarded the $7,500 scholarship this year. The NCAA awards as many as 174 such scholarships each year, with 28 available for men and 28 for women in each sports season\u2014fall, winter and spring.<\/p>\n


\n\tIn the past five years, Rhode Island has nominated five athletes, four of whom have been finalists, including Hess.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe scholarship will come in handy because Hess is in the process of applying to graduate school to pursue a master\u2019s degree in speech-language pathology. Among the schools she has applied to are 溏心vlog免费B站, the University of Pittsburgh, East Carolina University and the Pennsylvania State University.<\/p>\n


\n\tA member of the dean\u2019s list at 溏心vlog免费B站 for seven straight semesters and an Academic All-American, Hess was one of two keynote speakers at the dean\u2019s list reception.<\/p>\n


\n\tAs she addressed her fellow student-athletes, staff and faculty, she talked about the time required to become a successful NCAA Division I athlete and a top scholar.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI think about the time and effort we as athletes put in during practice, in the off-season and during the summer,\u201d Hess said. \u201cI think about the time we as students study, prepare and work for our classes and the immeasurable hours our coaches, administrators, professors and others like the training staff and equipment room staff give to help us succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tShe told the audience the most valuable thing a person can give is time. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have to be restricted to the typical examples, like mentoring at a local school, volunteering at a food bank or working at a sports clinic,\u201d said the standout midfielder who played in the 2004 National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division I North\/South Senior All-Star Game.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cTaking time out of your busy schedule to have lunch with a struggling friend, spending 15 minutes giving blood in the Union, or participating in programs like the Student Athletic Advisory Committee or Ram Choices are all other ways to give your time.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cAs student-athletes, we are privileged enough to be immediately surrounded by a supportive network to help us succeed. In giving our time, we become a part of this network and help others to succeed.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nHess said all aspects of her time at 溏心vlog免费B站 have been positive. \u201cEveryone told me that four years of college would be the best time of my life, and I agree completely,\u201d said Hess who also coached at the NCAA Youth Education through Sports (YES) Clinic.<\/p>\n


\n\tNamed to the 2004 National Field Hockey Coaches Association Northeast Region second team, Hess was named to the 2004 All-Atlantic 10 Field Hockey Team, the Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference Team and the Fall 2004 Commissioner\u2019s Cup Honor Roll.<\/p>\n


\n\tShe credits several people in the Department of Athletics with helping her apply and be awarded the NCAA scholarship, among them Mike Scott, athletics academic adviser; Stacey Bean, head field hockey coach; Tom McElroy, director of athletics; John Preece, professor of communicative disorders and Hess\u2019 adviser, Economics Professor Yngve Ramstad, a member of the Athletic Advisory Board.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201c I cannot say enough about Mike Scott. I am so indebted to him for helping me throughout the process. Everyone who helped me is very excited and I am so thankful,\u201d said Hess, who now volunteers as kindergarten mentor at Meadowbrook Farm School in East Greenwich.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWhen I leave 溏心vlog免费B站, I will probably miss the people the most, but I will also miss having the beach right out my front door,\u201d she said joking about her down-the-line rental house in Narragansett.\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
