Jon Hall to be Featured on NCAA on Campus

Aug. 27 – (PITTSBURGH, Pa.) – Carnegie Mellon University’s senior men’s soccer student-athlete Jon Hall (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) will be featured on the September episode of NCAA on Campus.  The first airing of the show is set for September 2 at 9:00 p.m. on CBS College Sports.  

NCAA On Campus is a 30-minute look at college sports across the nation and features interviews with NCAA student-athletes, providing fans with an inside perspective on the lives of student-athletes, especially those with inspirational stories.

Hall was named the 2008 ESPN the Magazine Men’s Soccer Academic All-America of the Year by the College Sports Information Directors of America.  He is a business and finance major enrolled in the Tepper School of Business with a current 4.0 GPA. The Tartan defensive back has started all 55 games through his first three years and is a three-time All-University Athletic Association member.  In 2007 he was named All-Region by the NSCAA.  

Head men’s soccer coach Arron Lujan, senior teammate and roommate Ryan Browne (Pittsburgh, Pa./Thomas Jefferson) and Carnegie Mellon University professor RF Culbertson speak about their relationship with Hall, while senior volleyball player Cara Fatigati (McMurray, Pa./Peters Township) hosts the segment.  

Fatigati and Hall served as co-chairs on the Student-Athlete Advisory Council last year.  The two Tartan athletes are not only classmates at Carnegie Mellon but both graduated from Peters Township High School in 2006.   

The show will be rebroadcast every Wednesday in September before being posted permanently in the video archives on www.ncaa.org.
