106 Carnegie Mellon Student-Athletes Earn Winter Academic Honors
(ROCHESTER, N.Y.) – A total of 106 Carnegie Mellon University student-athletes were named to the University Athletic Association’s (UAA) All-Academic Recognition list for the wintersports teams, as announced Monday, March 21.
All-Academic Recognition is awarded to student-athletes who have completed at least one full year of college study and who carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.300. The fall academic honor roll includes 914 student-athletes representing teams participating in the five men’s and four women’s winter sports for which the UAA sponsors competition.
The UAA Presidents Council established a program of All-Academic recognition in April 1998. Qualifying student athletes are recognized at the completion of the fall, winter, and spring seasons each year. The honor is intended to recognize the high level of academic achievement demonstrated by studentathletes who effectively balance their significant commitment of time, effort, and energy in athletic endeavor with their highly challenging academic responsibilities.
Studies completed by the Association over the last 20 years have consistently shown that the cumulative grade point averages of athletic teams have been statistically equal to or higher than the general campus population GPA. In the most recent study, covering the 2016-17 academic year, 50 percent of all women’s and all men’s teams across the UAA had average cumulative GPA’s equal to or higher than the overall average for their respective campuses. Of the 68 women’s teams and 70 men’s teams included in the study, 60 women’s teams (88 percent) and 49 men’s teams (70 percent) met or exceeded the 3.30 GPA standard for nominating individuals for Academic All-America recognition.
Among the 106 Carnegie Mellon student-athletes to earn the honor this winter, eight are from the women’s basketball team, eight from the men’s basketball team, 28 from the women's swimming and diving team, 23 from the men’s swimming and diving team, 18 from the women's indoor track and field team and 21 from the men's indoor track and field team.
