32 Falcons Receive Presidents’ Award for Academic Excellence from NE10
WALTHAM, Mass. – Thirty-two recent Bentley University graduates are among the first-ever recipients of the Northeast-10 Conference Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence, an honor awarded to graduating senior student-athletes for their outstanding work in the classroom during their college careers.
The inaugural class of honorees for the Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence includes 226 remarkable student-athletes from the NE10's 14 member institutions and three of its associate members. Bentley's 32 award winners was second only to Adelphi University's 33.
To be eligible for the Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence, a senior student-athlete must meet the following criteria:
- Must be a graduating NE10 student-athlete.
- Must attain the Latin honor of Magna Cum Laude or better.
- Must have participated in at least two seasons of NE10 competition and is a current student-athlete at the time of graduation. The NE10 did not have a formal season of competition in the fall or winter of 2020-21 and therefore counted each season toward the minimum for each affected student-athlete.
Each award recipient will receive a commemorative NE10 medallion for their academic achievements.
