67 FORDHAM STUDENT-ATHLETES NAMED TO ATLANTIC 10 COMMISSIONER¡¯S HONOR ROLL FOR THE SPRING 2005 SEMESTER
(June 23, 2005) - Atlantic 10 Commissioner Linda Bruno today announced the Commissioner¡¯s Honor Roll for the Spring 2005 semester, honoring each student-athlete in the Atlantic 10 with a 3.5 grade point average or better.
¡°It is an honor to recognize these student-athletes who truly exemplify what the college experience is all about,¡± says Bruno. ¡°Their commitment to excellence on and off the playing field is inspiring and should serve as an example to all.¡±
In the Fall of 2004, the Presidents Council of the Atlantic 10 Conference changed the parameters of the Commissioner¡¯s Honor Roll. Now, the Honor Roll will be announced at the end of each semester and will consist of student-athletes with grade point averages of 3.5 or better for that semester. Previously, one honor roll, encompassing the entire year, was announced, consisting of student-athletes with a cumulative 3.0 GPA or better.
¡°The Presidents Council felt that by changing the parameters of Commissioner¡¯s Honor Roll that it would be more consistent with what our institutions due on their own campuses regarding their Dean¡¯s Lists,¡± explains Bruno. ¡°By citing grade point averages for just the most recently-completed semester, it allows student-athletes a greater chance of being honored. Now, one or two semesters won¡¯t influence whether or not you earn Commissioner¡¯s Honor Roll status.
¡°I am pleased that our presidents took such an active role in this important honor.¡±
