The spring academic honor roll includes 530 student-athletes representing teams participating in the four men’s and four women’s spring sports for which the UAA sponsors competition. Within the UAA, All-Academic Recognition is awarded to student-athletes who have completed at least one full year of college study and who carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.300. The 3.300 minimum cumulative grade point average is the same academic standard used as a qualifying threshold by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for the nomination of ® Academic All-America candidates in all sports. The 530 recipients of UAA All-Academic Recognition represent approximately 61 percent of the total eligible UAA student-athletes — members of all teams who have completed at least one year of undergraduate study. Percentages varied by institution with a high of 71 percent of eligible student- athletes earning All-Academic honors. Percentages among sports varied with a high of 69 percent of eligible tennis athletes receiving All-Academic recognition. The UAA Presidents Council established a program of All-Academic Recognition in April 1998. Qualifying student-athletes are recognized at the completion of the fall, winter, and spring seasons each year. The honor is intended to recognize the high level of academic achievement demonstrated by student-athletes who effectively balance their significant commitment of time, effort, and energy in athletic endeavor with their highly challenging academic responsibilities. Individuals and teams throughout the UAA have been consistently recognized for their academic and athletic achievements. During the 2014-15 academic year, 26 student-athletes from UAA institutions were recognized as Academic All-Americans, 204 received All-America honors in team or individual sports, and 12 garnered individual national championship event titles or national Player of the Year honors. In addition, 10 student- athletes were among the select group of seniors across the country named NCAA Postgraduate or Fulbright Scholars. In 2014-15 NCAA championship competition, 19 UAA teams finished in the top ten in their national championships, while another 12 finished in the top twenty. Biennial studies completed by the Association over the last 14 years have consistently shown that the cumulative grade point averages of athletic teams have been statistically equal to the campus population GPA. In the most recent study, covering the 2012-13 academic year, women’s student athletes had average cumulative GPA’s higher than the overall average for their respective campuses, while men’s student-athletes had the same average cumulative GPA as the overall average for their respective campuses. Of the 66 women’s teams and 69 men’s teams included in the study, 82 teams (61 percent) met or exceeded the existing 3.30 GPA standard for nominating individuals for Academic All-America® recognition. 2016 UAA Spring All- Academic Recognition Honorees Baseball Connor Doyle Brandeis Sr. Avon, CT (Avon Old Farms School) Liam O’Connor Brandeis Sr. Avon, CT (Avon) Anthony Nomakeo Brandeis Jr. Westfield, MA (Northfield Mount Hermon) Cam Shaw Brandeis Sr. East Setauket, NY (Ward Melville) Rob Trenk Brandeis Gr.
