MIT, NYU, St. John Fisher University and Vassar College men’s volleyball teams earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award sponsored by INTENT for the 2024-25 season. UVC institutions represented four of the 31 Division III men's volleyball programs who received this prestigious honor.
 
Over 1,450 teams from NCAA, NAIA, Two-Year Colleges and high school organizations earned the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award for the 2024-25 season.

MIT, NYU and Vassar also garnered AVCA Team Academic Honor Roll accolades for posting GPAs in the top 20 percent for all Division III institutions during the 2024-25 season.

“It is very exciting to see that the record-setting, on-court successes during the 2024-25 season have extended to the classroom,” says AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon. “The fact that more programs earned the Team Academic Award than ever before is evidence of how committed our coaches are when it comes to helping their players reach their goals as both students and athletes.”

The award, initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors volleyball teams that maintain a year-long grade-point average of 3.30 on a 4.0 scale or 4.10 on a 5.0 scale.
