Play Hard, Study Harder: Our Athletes Are Winners in the Classroom, Too

As proud as we are of our student-athletes’ accomplishments in their chosen sports, we’re prouder still of what they’ve done academically.
 
We consistently claim the highest number of academic all-conference students in our conference – and by a wide margin. An impressive 78 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans have worn a Green Knights uniform, as well.
 
In the St. Norbert College Honors Program – rightfully acknowledged for its academic rigor – 29 percent of those in the program also play sports.
 
These students leave St. Norbert not just with their names in our record books, but with the preparation to be equally successful in their chosen careers.
