JMU Claims Top Academic Honors at Sun Belt Honors Banquet
10/24/2023 8:24:00 PM | Administration, Student-Athlete Services
HARRISONBURG, Va. – The Sun Belt Conference hosted its annual honors banquet to recognize top award winners from the 2022-23 academic year, the first for James Madison as a member of the conference. JMU claimed the league's top academic honors with the Student-Athlete Graduation Rate Award.
Â
The award for JMU recognizes the highest four-year federal graduation rate among student-athletes at Sun Belt institutions. The Dukes earned the honor for the second straight year as the SBC included its four new member institutions a year ago for select awards, including academics.
Â
JMU student-athletes across the department posted a 3.184 cumulative GPA. There were 91 total President's List honors and 195 total Dean's List honors for JMU student-athletes and 133 graduates for the year. JMU also posted a single-year APR of 993 while 11 of 17 programs had a 1,000 single-year score and all 17 hit the department benchmark of 960 or higher in the multi-year score.
Â
The banquet included special recognition for Jeff Bourne, who announced in September that he will retire as JMU director of athletics in the spring.
