PITTSBURGH (pacathletics.org) – The Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) held its Second Annual PAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year Banquet on Tuesday, May 19. The invitation-only event also served as the concluding affair of the PAC's year-long 60th anniversary celebration. Both past and present PAC members were in attendance to commend the conference's 60 years.

The evening of celebration was held at LeMont Restaurant, situated in Pittsburgh's historic Mount Washington neighborhood. The event started with a reception for all attendees at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and the introduction of the honorees.

With overwhelming support from conference presidents and athletic administrators, the PAC launched its Scholar-Athlete of the Year Banquet in 2014 as another way to recognize the league's best and brightest student-athletes for their athletic achievements, excellence in the classroom and outstanding community service efforts.

Over 120 were on hand to join in the celebration of the 22 recognized scholar-athletes. 

Each of the PAC's 10 full-time member institutions (Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington & Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College), along with football affiliates Carnegie Mellon University and Case Western Reserve University, were represented by some of their most distinguished student-athletes at the event.
