East Stroudsburg, Pa. - A total of 130 East Stroudsburg University student-athletes were honored this week as members of the ESU Athletic Director's Honor Roll. They were recognized and received certificates of accomplishment during National Student-Athlete Day ceremonies in the Keystone Room on campus.

All have grade point averages of 3.0 or better. They represent approximately 31 percent of the total number of 425 athletes listed on the rosters of the school's 19 intercollegiate athletic teams.

"This is a winning combination - athletic skill and academic ability," said Dr. Joy Richman, ESU athletic director in introducing the award recipients.

"Now, I challenge all these student-athletes to extend themselves beyond what they normally do and find a freshman or sophomore who may be having problems, take them under their wing and show them how to succeed both on the field and in the classroom. Be a mentor." Richman continued.

The program was organized and run by Julie Del Giorno, the school's academic coordinator for athletics.

Each of the 19 ESU teams is represented on the Athletic Director's Honor Roll. The teams with the most selections are women's track and field and cross country with 18 and football and field hockey with 14 apiece. The women's volleyball team has eight of its 12 players honored.
