INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) has identified 204 student-athletes who have earned the GLVC Council of Presidents’ Academic Excellence Award. The number of recipients for the award, which was first inaugurated in the spring of 2010, increased 18 honorees from a year ago.
Rockhurst University led the conference with 25 selections, followed closely behind by Drury University with 24 recipients. Bellarmine University and Missouri S&T each boasted 19 award winners, while Maryville University rounded out the top five with 16 honorees.
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 a 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 his or her career.
