University Credit Union/Athletic Director Student of the Month

University Credit Union/Athletic Director Student of the Month

Sponsored by University Credit Union

Throughout each academic year as Huskies’ Athletics moves from fall to winter to the spring competition, Southern Maine student-athletes are consistently recognized at the state, conference, regional and national level for their outstanding and noteworthy performances on the field of competition. 
 
Academically, Huskies are also known for their superior performances earning All-Academic team honors from a variety of awards bureaus as well as the University. This fall, USM student-athletes combined for a department grade point average of 3.23, and Huskies’ Athletics will honor its 262 William B. Wise Scholar Athletes in the near future.
 
Proudly supporting and emphasizing the Division III student-athlete model, Huskies’ Athletics focuses its goals on five key areas for each of its nearly 450 student-athletes: Academic Excellence, Athletic Achievement, Personal Growth, Professional Development and Service to Community.
 
Many of USM student-athletes play big roles not only on their teams, but also in life -  as student employees, mentors, student organization leaders, civic rights activists, residence life assistants, and more. With that in mind, former Director of Athletics Al Bean and University Credit Union are coming together to create a new way to honor and amplify the remarkable contributions of our student-athletes that go far beyond the stat sheet with the UCU Athletic Director Student-Athlete of the Month recognition.
 
“As a department, Huskies Athletics believes in the development of the overall student-athlete. As soon as they become a Husky, we are investing in their future. The goal for a USM student-athlete is for each and every one to realize their full potential academically, athletically, personally, professional and civically.  Our student-athletes are leaders on and off of the field and in the community.  With the creation of the UCU Athletic Director Student-Athlete of the Month honor, we are seeking to establish a tangible way to congratulate and encourage the work of student-athletes both inside and outside of the competitive arena.”
 
The UCU Athletic Director Student-Athlete of the Month (one male, one female) will be chosen based upon Huskies’ Five Key Pillars: Academic Excellence, Athletic Achievement, Personal Growth, Professional Development and Service to Community.  Members of the Huskies’ Athletic Administration will nominate and choose those student-athletes to be recognized.
 
“We’re excited for this new initiative and for the increased opportunities to recognize our tremendous student-athletes,” said Bean.  “UCU’s partnership further demonstrates their commitment to the overall growth and development of our programs.”
