On Thursday, April 21, President Steve Schutt and Athletic Director, Jackie Slaats, hosted a dinner at Glen Rowan House to recognize this year’s “A-Team” honorees. The A-Team is comprised of student-athletes who received straight A’s in either the 2015 fall or 2015 spring semester.
A record breaking number of 57 student-athletes were invited, compared to last year’s 48 students. There was a tie for the team with the highest number of honorees, which was men’s and women’s hockey with 7 students each (see photo above). Additionally, the most represented major was Finance (with 13 students), the next highest was Biology with 7 students (5 as straight Biology majors and 2 with a Biology/Chemistry double major).
