NEW YORK – Georgetown University has been named winner of the BIG EAST Presidents’ Award for the 2018-19 academic year. The annual conference honor, which was established by the league’s Presidents in 2015, goes to the BIG EAST institution that has excelled at the highest levels in academics, athletics and citizenship during the preceding academic year.
A selection committee of athletic and academic administrators from each BIG EAST institution chose Georgetown for the award. Each institution provides the selection committee with comprehensive information that highlights its accomplishments in all three areas.
“The BIG EAST Presidents’ Award was created to recognize the full scope of student-athlete achievement, and we extend our congratulations to the Georgetown Hoyas for their exceptional performance this past year in the classroom, in competition and in the community,” said BIG EAST Commissioner Val Ackerman.
