RYAN STEVENS OF CENTENARY COLLEGE, a junior left-handed pitcher from Longview, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Character & Community Male Student-Athlete-of-the-Week for the week ending June 1, 2014.
Stevens, who served as the baseball representative on the
Centenary College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee this past
year, will serve as that group’s President in 2014-15.
In addition to his time on the diamond, Stevens has helped to
organize as well as participating in the Centenary College Service
Week, which is sponsored by the Centenary SAAC.
This week-long event gave the student-athletes to interact and
assist with various organizations in the Shreveport community.
The school’s 17 intercollegiate programs divided into small groups to lend a helping hand at Common Ground, the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank and Querbes SPAR Recreation Center with service projects that consisted of dinner preparation, helping in the community garden, cleanup projects, tutoring and various other activities.
Centenary College student-athletes totaled 200-plus hours of
community service during the week.
In addition to his work with Service Week, Stevens has also
volunteered at the Glen in Shreveport with Animal Assisted Therapy
and he has helped pack bins for the campus Christmas Toy Drive.
