EASTLAKE, Ohio - July 31, 2015 - This season, Minor League Baseball (MiLB) named DeVry University as the "Official Education and Career Development Partner of Minor League Baseball." This summer, MiLB and DeVry University are recognizing outstanding undergraduate and graduate students from the university who demonstrate citizenship, personal and academic leadership, and dedication to their fields of study as the "Student of the Month."

Marceina Tate from the DeVry University campus in Seven Hills, Ohio, is one of 25 students nationwide to receive this honor. Tate will be honored at the Saturday, Aug. 1, game against the Great Lakes Loons.

Tate is pursuing her master's degree in business administration with a concentration in human resources from DeVry University's Keller Graduate School of Management. She graduated with honors in March with a Bachelor of Science in business administration with a health services management specialization from the university's College of Business & Management. Subsequently, she was presented with the university's Service Award for exhibiting outstanding service to the DeVry University community. Within the past year, Tate was a Dean's List student who has been recognized for her academic performance by being named to the National Junior Honor Society as an undergraduate. Outside the classroom, Tate is active at the Greater Bethel AME Church in Cleveland, where she is a youth leader and volunteers at the church's food pantry every month.
