April 21, 2008 SIUE Student-Athletes Honored at Awards Ceremony EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. -- Numerous student-athletes were honored at a dinner ceremony Monday night at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville for their accomplishments off the playing field. Awards were given to 127 individuals from SIUE's 16 sports who were All-American Collegiate Scholars, members of the spring or fall Academic All-Great Lakes Valley Conference team, members of the 2007 fall term Dean's List, inductees into Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society and Cougar Cadre Award winners. All-American Scholars must have a 3.3 or better grade point average (GPA) and be selected by a dean, a professor, athletic director or coach. Academic All-Conference performers include student-athletes who have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or better, have attained a 3.40 GPA in each of the two preceding terms or are first-year student-athletes with a 3.40 GPA in their first term. The Dean's List recognizes students who have a 3.5 GPA in any term and have passed at least 12 hours of classes. The National College Athlete Honor Society of Chi Alpha Sigma is an honorary athletic society for recognition of high academic achievers and sports letter winners. Inductees must have a 3.4 GPA, have earned a varsity letter and have junior or senior status. The Cougar Cadre Award was developed by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and is given to one member per team selected by his or her peers. Cougar Cadre Award winners must have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 and have earned a varsity letter.
