JUST YOUR NORMAL EVERYDAY STUDENT WHO IS FLUENT IN TWI
Eric passed his Twi language exam in October of 2007 and has completely fulfilled the language requirement (two years) for his major of Global Studies. Sound simple? Hardly. When learning of the language requirement in his major, Eric was told by the ASU Department of Language at ASU that if he could find a professor who was willing to test him in Twi - an African language - they would accept it, because he was already fluent in it. Eric contacted Indiana University, who happened to have a Twi professor on staff. After a few months of preparation, he took the exam in the fall, it was mailed to IU where the written part was graded and they notified the Department of Language here that he had passed. PRIOR TO ASU
Was a member of Duke 2005-06 squad that went 32-4, advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in 2005-06, won the ACC regular season title with a 14-2 record and then won the ACC Tournament. He played in 20 games and saw action in six ACC regular season games, two ACC tournament games and two NCAA Tournament games. Also a three-year letterman at the St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Del., and was coached by Bobby Rue. Eric averaged 19.6 points, 13.6 rebounds and 4.6 blocks in career played in the 2005 Jordan Classic. He was the 2005 Gatorade Delaware Player of the Year and a Parade All-America fourth-team pick who averaged 21.0 points, 16.0 rebounds and five blocks.
