Academics is the most important component for an athlete to be a college athlete.  To compete at the next level and to be called a college athlete one must succeed in the classroom in order to be a student-athlete.

Union County College and the College Life office is proud to honor 52 student-athletes who thrived in the classroom during the Fall 2016 semester.  A breakfast was hosted by the College Life office to honor the student-athletes who were named to both the Garden State Athletic Conference All-Academic Team and the NJCAA Region XIX All-Academic Team.  

Each student-athlete also took the time to invite a faculty or administrator who had an impact on their academic success at Union County College.
