LAWRENCEVILLE, GA - 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."

Michael Weston from the DeVry University campus in Duluth, Georgia, is one of 25 students nationwide to receive this honor. Weston will be honored Saturday, Aug. 8, at the game against the Buffalo Bisons.

Weston is pursuing a master's degree in information systems management with a concentration in data and administration management from DeVry University's Keller Graduate School of Management. He earned his Bachelor of Science in computer information systems last fall from the university's College of Engineering & Information Sciences. In addition to his high academic achievements at both the undergraduate and graduate level, Weston was been inducted into DeVry University's Alpharetta chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success, where he has risen to the role of Chapter Student Vice President. His life's goal is to earn a Ph.D. and become a college professor.

"We are honored to help DeVry University celebrate some of its best and brightest students," said North Johnson, General Manager of the Gwinnett Braves. "As a community partner, we welcome the opportunity to provide Michael with a special ballpark experience and recognize him for his accomplishments."
