Western Michigan Claims Men’s FAR Academic Achievement Award For Tenth Time

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Western Michigan University's men’s athletics program has been named the winner of the 2023-24 Mid-American Conference Men’s Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR) Academic Achievement Award. This marks the tenth time the Broncos have earned the honor.

The FAR Awards are designed to recognize the Conference institution with the highest overall combination of both grade point average (GPA) and Academic Progress Rate (APR) rank by gender. The GPA’s were based upon the 2023-24 academic year.

The Conference FAR’s worked with the Athletic Academic Advisors to compute an award that best represents the academic achievement of student-athletes in a competitive setting.
