The State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) has recognized 63 Buffalo State winter- and spring-sport student-athletes on its All-Academic Team and Commissioner's List for the 2015–2016 season.
To be eligible for this SUNYAC recognition, students must be varsity athletes, have completed the entire season, and have a minimum grade point average of 3.3 or higher for the semester in which they competed (for All-Academic Team) or for three semesters at their institution (for Commissioner's List).
Buffalo State had 59 student-athletes on the All-Academic Team, 28 on the Commissioner's List, and 23 who earned both honors.
Congratulations, to our student-athlete scholars!
