D2 ADA lauds 83 Eagles with Academic Achievement Award

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – Carson-Newman's athletic department has placed 83 student athletes on the Division II Athletics Directors Association's list for Academic Achievement Awards. 

"Our mission in athletics at Carson-Newman is to glorify Christ through comprehensive excellence - spiritually, academically, athletically and socially," Carson-Newman Vice President for Athletics Matt Pope said. "Academic success is something we stress in our program and I am so happy that 83 of our student-athletes are receiving the D2 ADA Academic Achievement Award.  A grade-point-average is a very personal and rewarding achievement; that is something they have earned in the classroom and we could not be more proud of each of them."

In total, there were 11,660 student-athletes from 185 institutions being recognized for the 2018-19 Academic Achievement Awards. This set the record for the most participation from institutions and the largest number of student-athletes being nominated. 

In order for a student-athlete to receive an Academic Achievement Award, the athletics director of the Division II institution must be a current dues-paying member of the D2 ADA. 

Also, the student-athlete must: 
· have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale 
· have attended a minimum of two years (four semesters) of college level work 
· have been an active member of an intercollegiate team during his/her last academic year
