70 CSU Athletes Named to 2009-10 PBC Presidential Honor Roll

Columbus, Ga. -- Columbus State was well represented in the annual Peach Belt Conference Presidential Honor Roll listings released last week by the conference office in Augusta. 70 Cougar athletes were listed on the honor roll, joining over 1,000 other athletes from the 12 other PBC institutions. The Presidential Honor Roll recognizes all student-athletes at the 13 PBC member institutions who had a GPA of 3.0 or higher for the academic year.

The honor roll has been divided into four groups: Presidential Scholars, Bronze Scholars, Silver Scholars and Gold Scholars. All student-athletes with a GPA from 3.0 to 3.24 are Presidential Scholars while Bronze Scholars are 3.25 to 3.49; Silver 3.50 to 3.74 and Gold Scholars are those with a 3.75 to 4.00. 2009-10 marks the first time in the 20-year conference history that more than 1,000 athletes have been named to the honor roll list. Each student will receive a certificate from the PBC to signify their inclusion on the Honor Roll.
