Women’s basketball coach Shelba Harris was named the female coach of the year by HBCU Digest. Also, CSU student Juan Scott also recently became the NCAA Division II national champion in the 110 meter hurdles race, according to the university.
The state legislature applauded CSU last Wednesday with a resolution honoring the school’s achievements. Rep. Bill Dean, R-Xenia, praised the university for its recent success.
“Students come to learn at Central State from all over Ohio as well as across the nation and other countries because they see that a bright future is affordable and possible thanks to Central State,” Dean said. “I must say also when I have been to Central State, it seems like family and a family atmosphere.”
