BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference (MAWPC) and Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC) wish all collegiate water polo players a Happy National STUDENT-Athlete Day.
Thirty-one years ago, National STUDENT-Athlete Day was created by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS), officially renamed the Institute For Sport & Social Justice (Institute SSJ), to honor the outstanding achievements of high school and college student-athletes. The event, celebrated annually on April 6 recognizes student-athletes nationwide and has begun to connect with schools internationally. Events celebrating the day can take place throughout the entire month or in conjunction with an event that is already in place. The day is intended to promote the positive virtues of sport, student-athletes as a whole and the positive affect they both have on society.
