"Congratulations to all of the CCAA All-Academic honorees for once again setting a new conference record," said CCAA Commissioner Allen Hardison. "The dedication our student-athletes have towards academics and athletics is on full display with the impressive list of names. I am so impressed with the hard work these student-athletes put into academics, training, competition, and being leaders in our communities. It is something our conference is very proud of. Thank you to our coaches, academic advisors, and administrators who help drive our student-athletes towards success daily."

The CCAA and NCAA Division II support the educational mission of college athletics by fostering a balanced and inclusive approach in which student-athletes learn and develop through their desired academic pursuits, civic engagement with their communities, and athletics competition, creating a life in the balance.
 
The award is designed to demonstrate the academic achievements of each of the CCAA's 12 conference constituents. It illustrates just one of the many ways student-athletes in the conference take advantage of the unique opportunity Division II provides to compete in the classroom, on the field, in their career, for their causes, and on their terms.
