News release from Bentley Athletics.

WALTHAM, MA — 207 Bentley University student-athletes have received 2023-24 Academic Achievement Awards from the Division 2 Athletics Director Association for their success in the classroom last academic year.

The 207 honorees was the most for any institution in the Northeast-10 Conference and the East Region, as well as the eighth highest total nationally. Putting that into perspective, there are more than 300 Division II institutions across the country.

Requirements to receive an Academic Achievement Award include a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale, have completed a minimum of two years of college level work and have been an active member of an intercollegiate team during the 2023-24 academic year.

"The goal of this program since inception has been to showcase the amazing student-athletes, coaches and staff, across our Division II landscape. We are fortunate to recognize such deserving individuals on an annual basis," said Mike McFarland, director of athletics at Bloomsburg University and current D2 ADA President. "We couldn't be prouder of the work that these individuals put into their craft. Our industry will be a better place as these student-athletes head out into the real world."
