Kimani Hunt, 19, a Dean’s List student at Davidson County Community College, is a standout 6’5” player on the DCCC Strom basketball team who serves as a role model for other students both on and off the court.  With a 3.7 grade point average for the fall 2010 semester and cumulative basketball point total of 765 as of Feb. 18h, Hunt’s academic excellence and athletic abilities attract attention. Recently, he caught the attention of recruiters from the University of Northwestern Ohio who offered him a full scholarship there to play basketball. Named to the 1^st team All Freshmen in 2009-2010, Hunt served on the 2009-2010 Region X and District H Championship teams, and he played with the Storm in last year’s 2010 NJCAA National Championship tournament. “Kimani Hunt has been a leader for us the last few years both on and off the court,” said DCCC Storm Head Coach, Matt Ridge. “His high standard of excellence had helped us win many games, but it’s also helped him achieve a lot of success in the classroom, and we are certainly proud of him.” Ken Kirk, DCCC’s director of athletics and wellness, agrees. “Kimani is a kind and considerate student athlete. He helps tutor other players who look up to him as an academic leader, he communicated well with other students as well as the Storm fans, and he represents DCCC so well wherever he goes.” Hunt graduated from Riverside High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC. He hopes to pursue a career in sports management.

Katie Watkins, a standout Storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies some of the concepts she learned on the court.

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21-years-old who works in teams with her classmates in problem-based nursing exercises. “I learned that everyone has different strengths and brings something different to the table. I also learned that we have to respect each other.”

Watkins is a May 2012 candidate to receive her Associate Degree in Nursing. She hopes to pursue her B.S.N. at Winston-Salem State University and eventually get her master’s degree in nursing.

Setting educational goals and working hard to achieve them brings a great feeling of accomplishment. It builds self-esteem, increases self-confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.
