Making the Grade

The AIC Athletic Director’s 3.0 Club induction ceremony welcomed 273 student-athletes into its ranks.

The annual event, held in the College’s Esther B. Griswold Theatre, takes place at the beginning of fall semester, and recognizes those returning student-athletes who achieve a 3.0 cumulative GPA or better after attending AIC for one year or more.

The student-athletes inducted during this year’s ceremony represent the largest group in the event’s history, and a 59% increase over 2019, the last year the event was held.

The purpose of the Athletic Director’s 3.0 Club is to recognize the student in student-athlete by celebrating academic achievement with the overarching goal that these young men and women will be recognized as academic role models and serve as an inspiration for all student-athletes, especially those new to AIC.

The yearly ceremony is fast-paced and motivating with an abundance of team spirit and support from fellow students and coaches. Every student-athlete is acknowledged by name. Additional recognition includes announcing the highest GPAs for members of each team and the top 10 cumulative grade point averages.

A big congrats to all!
