WAYNE, N.J. – The William Paterson Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation acknowledged its 120 students who maintained a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average while completing a minimum of three semesters at WP.

The Pioneers recognized 106 intercollegiate athletics student-athletes and 14 members of club sports at an event held March 27 on campus.
 
WP also inducted its 12th class into Chi Alpha Sigma, the national intercollegiate student-athlete honor society for juniors and seniors who have a minimum 3.500 GPA (one season of participation executed; plus four semesters completed at WP or year in residence completed for transfers). Twenty-five new inductees joined 25 returning Pioneers as Chi Alpha Sigma members.
 
Additionally, women's soccer senior Brianna De La Cruz (Clifton, N.J./Clifton) and ice hockey senior Kevin Brennan addressed their fellow students about their experiences as Pioneers.

 
The WP volleyball team was the winner of the award for the highest GPA for the combined Spring 2024 and Fall 2024 semesters with a 3.605.
