During half-time of the women’s basketball game on Feb. 27 against Louisiana, Dean Vahlbusch joined the Provost and Deans of other colleges to honor 247 student-athletes who made the fall 2019 academic honor roll. According to Appalachian's Athletic department, 247 Student-Athletes Achieve Academic Honor Roll. Out of those 247 athletes, eight were graduate students and 33 had a 4.0 GPA for that semester. Seventy-three total members from the cheer team, dance team, athletic training, and other student support staff were also named to the academic honor roll. A student achieves academic honor roll if they earn a 3.25 GPA or higher during the fall semester while enrolled in at least 12 credit hours.
To maintain Honors status while also being involved in a Division I sport is an achievement worth celebrating. We recognize your achievements, commitment, and hard work.
