NEWARK, Del. - - Now in its 15th year of existence, the Wilmington University athletics department announced 144 student-athletes earned the distinction of Academic All-Star for its annual Athletics Academic All-Star program.

The Academic All-Star award is given to student-athletes who carry a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA. This year's honorees are the most ever in program history and make up 45% of the total student-athlete population at the University.

Wilmington, the second university in the state of Delaware to hold Chi Alpha Sigma National College Athlete Honor Society status, recognized three individuals that became a third-year honoree of the academic honor society, 10 individuals that became second-year honorees, and inducted 30 more outstanding individuals into the 2024 class.

To be inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma National College Athlete Honor Society, an undergraduate student-athlete must carry a 3.50 or greater cumulative GPA and be of junior academic status at the beginning of their fifth semester.

Chi Alpha Sigma's purpose is to: encourage and reward high academic scholarship of college athletes at four-year accredited colleges and universities; to recognize outstanding academic achievement by intercollegiate varsity letter winners; to encourage good citizenship, moral character, and friendship among the high academic achievers in college athletics, to recognize and honor the individual athlete, his/her team, sport, athletic department, and college or university; and to mentor and to provide leadership to other athletes.
