Fresno Pacific University hosted its annual Honors Banquet with several student-athletes garnering recognition.

“We want our student-athletes to be as successful in the classroom as they are in athletic competitions, so we are very proud of this group,” Director of Athletics Aaron Henderson said. “The fact that so many students representing our department are being recognized across such a wide variety of academic fields is exciting, and I hope to see them continue to excel in every endeavor.”
In all, 16 student-athletes representing nine of FPU’s athletic programs were recognized.
