American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco announced that former Tulsa rower Hannah Emnett has been chosen as the 2015-16 winners of the Commissioner's Postgraduate Leadership Award, as voted on by The American Academic Affairs Committee.
The awards are given to one male and one female student-athlete from an American Athletic Conference-sponsored sport who have been admitted to a degree-granting or professional program for the following year and who have demonstrated leadership through excellence in academic credentials, athletic performance and depth of commitment to service within the institution or the community.
Emnett will each receive a $5,000 scholarship, which may be applied to postgraduate study.
