(07-21-09) SOUTH EASTON, Mass. - A total of 139 University of New Haven student-athletes have been named to the Spring 2009 Northeast-10 Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll for their performances in the classroom during the 2008-09 academic year.
A total of 2,619 student-athletes representing all 15 member institutions are included in this year's NE-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll.
The Commissioner's Honor Roll is determined and submitted by each institution's Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR). The honor roll recognizes student-athletes at each of the conference's 15 institutions for their success in the classroom.
To be eligible for selection to the Northeast-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll a student-athlete must have met and/or exceeded a minimum 3.0 semester grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). Due to a revision of the conference's academic awards program, the Commissioner's Honor Roll is based only off the Spring 2009 semester. Starting next year, the conference will release two Commissioner's Honor Roll listings for both the fall and spring semesters.
With 16 member institutions the Northeast-10 shares the distinction of being the largest Division II conference in the country along with the PSAC and WVIAC. Its 23 championship sports provide athletic opportunities for over 5,500 student-athletes, the largest such program of any Division II conference.
