Northwest athletes excel in the classroom

For the second consecutive year, Northwest student-athletes have shattered another academic record.

After the Fall 2021 semester yielded a record 106 student-athletes on the President’s and Vice President’s lists, Northwest has once again set a new milestone with 119 student-athletes earning recognition to the two lists for the Fall 2022 term. Additionally, 83 of those 119 students were named to the President’s List, with 36 more earning Vice President’s List honors.

Those students completing 12 or more semester hours with a grade point average of 3.75 or better in a four-point system were eligible for the recognition on the President’s List, while Vice President’s List recipients must have had a 3.50-3.74 grade point average. The complete list of those who qualified is found here.
