DURHAM, N.H. -- The University of New Hampshire and the National College Athlete Honor Society, Chi Alpha Sigma, announced Monday that 48 student-athletes were inducted into the honor society. The ceremony was held at the Watkins Center for Student-Athlete Excellence at the UNH fieldhouse on Friday, April 8.
The Class of 2016Â consists of junior and senior student-athletes that span a wide range of sports and majors. In order to receive the distinction, one must achieve a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or higher, achieved at least junior standing academically and be of good moral character.
The purposes of the organization are to:
1. Encourage and reward high academic scholarship of college athletes at four year accredited colleges.
2. Recognize outstanding academic achievements by intercollegiate varsity sport student-athletes.
3. Encourage good citizenship, moral character, and friendship among the high academic achievers in college athletics.
4. Recognize and honor the individual athlete, his/her team, sport, athletic department and university.
5. Mentor and provide leadership to other athletes.
The Chi Alpha Sigma National College Athlete Honor Society was founded at DePauw University in 1996 as a student-athlete honor society. Its purpose was to recognize high academic achievers and sport letterwinners at the collegiate level.
