ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The United Volleyball Conference announced its All-Academic List for the 2024 season and recognized 56 student-athletes from the league’s eight full-time members for their contributions on the court and their excellence in the classroom. For Elmira, Jordan Peiser ’24 earned recognition from the league for the third consecutive season, after doing so in 2022 and 2023.
This marks the 11th year the UVC has recognized academic achievement. Recipients of this Academic List must have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.30 (on a 4.00 scale), a 4.10 (on a 5.00 scale) or an 82 (on a 100 point scale) following the completion of the spring semester. In addition, the student-athlete must be at least a sophomore academically, display positive conduct on and off campus and be enrolled full-time at the member institution.
