WORCESTER, Mass. – 108 Assumption University student-athletes have received 2023-24 Academic Achievement Awards from the Division 2 Athletics Director Association for their success in the classroom last academic year.

We are fortunate to recognize such deserving individuals on an annual basis," said Mike McFarland, director of athletics at Bloomsburg University and current D2 ADA President.
