UWA Athletics Announces Spring Graduates

LIVINGSTON, Ala. – A combination of 28 current and former student-athletes at the University of West Alabama earned their degrees from the institution earlier this month at UWA’s Spring Commencement ceremonies. 

Five members of the Tiger football squad finished degree requirements to pace the 24 student-athletes that leave UWA with a degree – Joseph Cooper, Jeremy May, Wes Pinto, Mitch Warfield and J.D. Wu.  The UWA softball team had four members of its squad obtain undergraduate degrees.  Laura Bagwell, Aubree Hudson, Brittany McGee and Emily White concluded their four-year stint with the Tigers this past season and finished up their respective degree requirements in those four years in the Red and White. 

Current UWA wide receivers coach Desmond Lindsey earned his Master of Arts in Teaching with emphasis in Physical Education.  Lindsey finished his undergraduate work at UWA in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education.  Former UWA cross country student-athlete Devin Fields collected her MAT in Mathematics.  Former UWA basketball standouts Joseph Eatmon and Veronica Lee also finished their requirements in the MAT curriculum.  The entire list of students with UWA Athletic ties that finished their respective degrees in spring 2009 is listed below.
