SoCon Announces 2024 Spring Academic Honor Roll

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Following stellar performances in the classroom this year, 196 UNC Greensboro (UNCG) student-athletes have been named to the Southern Conference (SoCon) Academic Honor Roll for the 2023-24 academic year, the conference announced Thursday.

"As a conference, we're proud to recognize the emphasis our institutions place on the academic performance of each of the athletes named to the SoCon Academic Honor Roll," SoCon Commissioner Michael Cross said. "Balancing academics with athletic commitments requires excellence, dedications and personal investment on the part of the student athlete. It's also imperative to acknowledge our appreciation for the academic advisors, counselors and faculty who invest in these athletes to ensure they succeed in their endeavors."

The Academic Honor Roll originated in 1988-89, when SoCon athletic directors established the award as a way to recognize the league's outstanding student-athletes. The Academic Honor Roll consists of student-athletes who participated in conference sponsored varsity sports and posted a 3.0 grade point average or higher for the academic year, were eligible the entire academic year and were members of the final squad lists. The award is different from the academic all-conference award which is determined by cumulative GPA and involves a participation requirement.

The 2,473 selections are the third-most in SoCon history. Of this year's qualifiers, 743 earned the Commissioner's Medal, awarded to student-athletes who attain a GPA of 3.8 or higher throughout the year, and 273 posted perfect 4.0 GPAs.
