Three College of Education undergraduates named Academic All-Big Ten honorees

Purdue Athletics recognized 68 student-athletes from the winter sports season who have been named to the Academic All-Big Ten Team for their achievements in the classroom.
 
This year’s announcement of the 68 winter honorees comes after 68 were also earned last year. The total is just three shy of the department’s winter record of 71, set during the 2018-19 school year.
 
The 68 accolades join a Purdue-record 106 Academic All-Big Ten awardees in the fall. For the 2021-22 school year, Purdue student-athletes have earned 174 total Academic All-Big Ten accolades in the fall and winter seasons.
 
To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten, student-athletes must be enrolled full-time at their university for a minimum of 12 months and carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.
 
Swimming & diving accounted for 70 % (48 of 68) of the Academic All-Big Ten recipients, with both programs seeing their totals increase from last year. The women at the pool had 25 honorees and the men’s program produced a team-record 23. Wrestling and men’s basketball each had one more honoree than a year ago, with 12 and five, respectively. The women’s basketball team had three named to the Academic All-Big Ten Team.
