SU recognizes 82 students for academic excellence

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  --  Southern University Athletics recognized 82 student-athletes for their academic success, naming them to the newly established "Athletic Council List."

The list recognizes students who achieved a 3.0 or above in Fall 2012, or, maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA. The students will be recognized at a basketball doubleheader in the coming weeks.

"Beyond the accomplishments of these students in competition, folks rarely think of how hard they work to excel in the classroom and work toward graduation," said Director of Athletics Dr. William Broussard.

"Our academic advisement staff and faculty and administrators across campus share in this success."

The list includes individuals from every varsity sport and also varsity cheerleaders.

"I am extremely proud of these student-athletes who recognize the importance of excelling in the classroom as well as in their respective sports," Southern faculty athletics representative Dr. Doze Butler said.

"Recognition of their academic achievement in this way is long overdue. These young men and women clearly understand that as student-athletes, their roles as ‘students' come first. We will encourage them to continue to serve as role models for their student-athlete peers and the general student population."
