A total of 29 student-athletes were honored at Hamilton College’s 2015 Scholar-Athlete Luncheon. The event, which was co-sponsored by Hamilton's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and the Department of Athletics, was held in conjunction with the 28th Annual National Student-Athlete Day.
The 29 Continentals honored – one from each team – were recognized for outstanding academic achievement and significant contribution to their teams. The annual luncheon helps achieve the SAAC goal of improving communication and interaction among student-athletes, coaches and professors.
