CALDWELL, N.J. –
A luncheon recognizing the Caldwell College student-athletes who received
the Division II Athletics Directors
Association Academic Achievement Award was held Wednesday afternoon.
Thirteen of the 20 student-athletes who earned the award in August gathered
in the lobby of the George R. Newman Center with members of the athletics
department, including Executive Director of Athletics Mark A. Corino
and Assistant Director of Athletics Katie Kennedy, who organized the
event.
"We wanted to do a little something for you to show our appreciation for
what you have accomplished," Corino told the student-athletes. "You are
examples of what we strive for at Caldwell College and at the Division II
level, which is being successful in the classroom as well as on the playing
fields. We are proud to have you represent the institution in such a
positive way, and I commend you on your achievement."
Sister Elaine Keenan, Caldwell's Vice President for Student Life,
also spoke to the student-athletes. Faculty Athletics Representative
Patrick Sime and Athletics Administrator Megan Hrbek, who
coordinates the CHAMPS/Life Skills program at Caldwell, were in attendance,
along with other coaches and administrators.
