877 STUDENT-ATHLETES NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-CONFERENCE; FRANCISCAN U. EARNS PEAK PERFORMER AWARD

Eight hundred seventy seven (877) student-athletes achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher as of the Fall 2015 semester, earning the distinction of being named to the AMCC Academic All-Conference Team.

Fifty eight percent (507) of those individuals were tabbed Individual Peak Performers by earning a GPA of 3.5 or higher.  A special subset of those student-athletes were also selected for induction to Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Collegiate Student-Athlete Honor Society, which recognizes both academic performance, leadership and character for selected juniors and seniors.

Franciscan University earned the distinction of Institutional Peak Performer for landing the highest percentage of its varsity team members in AMCC championship sports--63.95%--on the Academic All-Conference Team.  It is the third time in five years that the Barons have accomplished this.
