INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) has identified 541 student-athletes across 13 eligible member institutions who have earned the GLVC Council of Presidents’ Academic Excellence Award, it was announced on Thursday.
While the total number this year did not improve upon the league record set in 2021-22 with 545 honorees from 15 member schools, it did surpass the previous record mark from 2020-21 of 434 from 15 schools and last year’s total of 491 for 13 schools.
The recipients of the GLVC Council of Presidents’ Academic Excellence Award exemplify the outstanding student-athletes in the GLVC. Each honoree has exhausted his or her eligibility in the intercollegiate sport in which they participated and maintained at least a 3.5 grade point average throughout their academic career.
In addition, to be eligible for the award, the student-athlete must have competed in the GLVC for a minimum of two years and completed 96 credit hours. A student-athlete can only earn the distinguished honor one time in their career.
Moreover, while the full list of honorees can be found at the link above, the below 24 students from seven member institutions met the highest standard of academic excellence by concluding their collegiate careers with an unblemished 4.0 cumulative GPA.
