AMHERST, N.Y. - Daemen College Dean Dr. Michael Brogan recently announced the students who have achieved Dean's List status at the college for the spring 2016 semester. Among the honorees were 65 student-athletes, representing 34-percent of Daemen's student-athlete body.
The Dean's List at Daemen College is comprised of matriculated undergraduate students who attain a grade point average of 3.30 in any one semester, provided the student has been enrolled for twelve credit hours of course work, nine of which must be in course work which utilizes the letter grade scale. Dean's List students receive a Dean's List Certificate which recognizes their superior scholarship and are named in a national register of Dean's Lists.
"It continues to be evident that our student-athletes are fully embracing the NCAA Division II philosophy of life in the balance," said Director of Athletics
Bridget Niland who is also a faculty member in Daemen's Business Administration department. "These Dean's List student-athletes balance the rigors of Division II athletic competition with the challenges of their respective academic coursework. As an educator and athletics administrator, it is humbling to see these individuals make the conscience decision to become high achievers in the classroom, and in their chosen sports, and then to put in the work necessary to do so. These are the future leaders of our community, and we're happy that Daemen College can play even a small role in their continued development as students, as athletes and as people in general."
