She will be walking the stage to accept her diploma, something she and many other seniors were unable to do when graduating high school.Graduating from Franklin County High School four years ago during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the many restrictions to public gatherings, Weaver made the best of a “drive-thru” ceremony. Now just days away from graduation, she is eager to experience the true experience.“I’m so excited,” Weaver said of graduating while having friends and family watching from the audience.While her first two years at Ferrum College had their challenges due to COVID-19 restrictions, Weaver has made the best of her time.

            Weaver was included in Ferrum College’s President’s List for seven semesters.

It is awarded annually to an individual who exhibits excellence in athletics, campus and community leadership, character and academics.Athletics is a passion that Weaver plans to continue. She will be graduating with a degree in Business Administration with a emphasis in Sports Management and Marketing with minors in Coaching and Exercise Science.Weaver hopes to one day work in the field of sports marketing, possibly for a professional team. While it has been seen in the past as a male dominated field, she wants to be part of a recent push to show women can participate as well.Sports marketing is a passion Weaver found while at Ferrum College. She originally came to the school with the goal of becoming a physical education teacher until she began exploring other available options.“I started looking into the marketing side of things,” Weaver said.Following graduation, Weaver is planning to go to graduate school to continue her education. One of her first choices for schools to attend is to remain at Ferrum College to earn a masters in Athletic Coaching.After enjoying four years at Ferrum College, Weaver said she is hoping to spend some more time at the school.“I don’t want to leave yet,” Weaver said.
