The Academic Support Program is committed to recognizing the academic success of all student-athletes. The Athletics Department, in conjunction with Seminole Boosters, Inc ., hosts the annual “Golden Torch Gala”, a formal academic awards banquet each fall inaugurating in 1991. The ACC Honor Roll student-athletes, as well as the individuals with the highest GPA on their respective teams, and the men’s & women’s teams with the highest GPA are recognized at this event.
