FSC professor chosen for Student/Athlete
Distinguished Faculty Award

LAKELAND, Fla. (April 25, 2003) - FSC business professor Craig Bythewood was chosen by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for the FSC Student/Athlete Distinguished Faculty Award at the Honors Convocation April 16.

Bythewood was recognized for his support of student-athletes and the FSC intercollegiate athletics program. The support may take several forms - attendance at athletic events, announcements of event times and places in class, recognition in class of student-athletes' accomplishments, and willingness to permit makeup work for classes/assignments missed because of scheduled athletic events. Bythewood, according to fellow business professor Duane Hopkins, did "all of the above." Bythewood has been with FSC for two years.
