Stuart Scott will forever be a staple in the journalism word and on October 23, UNC will make sure his name is forever engraved at the University he loves.
Via 247 Sports:
The school says it will induct Scott on Oct. 23 into the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame, which is based in the UNC School of Media and Journalism. Jones Angell, the radio play-by-play voice for Tar Heels sports, will emcee an induction ceremony that will include women’s soccer player Mia Hamm.
Afterward, the men’s basketball program will hold a tribute to Scott during its annual “Late Night With Roy” event, which marks the ceremonial start to the season. Scott first hosted the event in 2001 and did so 10 times.
Stuart Scott was not only a loss to his family but to fans and the world of journalism; He was one of the good guys. It will be an emotional time for everyone at UNC during those moments, but Im sure it will be joyous to celebrate a life well lived.
