WORCESTER, Mass. - Thirty-five Worcester State University student-athletes have earned induction into Chi Alpha Sigma, the student-athlete honor society.
The group joins 21 inductees from a year ago, bringing Worcester State's Chi Alpha Sigma total to 56 student-athletes. The complete list of Worcester State inductees can be found below.
To be eligible for the honor society, student-athletes of junior or senior status must achieve a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.40. Graduating Chi Alpha Sigma inductees will receive black and gold cords to be worn at Commencement.
“In Worcester State’s sixth year of membership in Chi Alpha Sigma, it is exciting to continue to honor our student-athletes’ academic achievements,” said Kelly Downs, coordinator of student-athlete support services. “Our student-athletes take pride in their academics and are excited to represent our department at Commencement by wearing their athletic honor society cords.”
"These student-athletes have shown an incredible commitment to academics in their time at Worcester State," said Director of Athletics Michael Mudd. "They shine not only on the field, court, track, and ice, but also in the classroom, and are true role models on our campus."
