The Pioneers recognized 108 intercollegiate athletics student-athletes and 33 members of club sports at a ceremony March 24. WP also inducted its ninth class into Chi Alpha Sigma, the national student-athlete honor society for juniors and seniors who have a minimum 3.4 GPA (minimum 60 credits earned and three semesters attended at WP). Thirty-four new inductees joined 26 returning Pioneers as Chi Alpha Sigma members.
