19th ANNUAL ACADEMIC ATHLETIC AWARDS

Fullerton College Athletics welcomed parents, faculty, administration, and the FC student body to attend the 19th annual Academic Athletic Awards honoring excellence in academics and athletic achievement.

Many outstanding Fullerton College student-athletes were honored in the Hornets Nest for their tireless work in the classroom and on the field/court/pool during the 2015-16 year. Many scholarship awards were handed out to those hard-working student-athletes in order to help them further pursue their education and growth as individuals.

Along with the individual awards, over 100 FC athletes were honored as Hornet Scholars maintaining a 3.0 G.P.A. or higher. All of this would not have been possible if not for the tireless efforts of the FC faculty, staff, and the INCITE Program.

The Academic Athletic Awards was the creation of beloved former Head Football Coach Gene Murphy who poured his heart and soul into furthering the education of Fullerton College student-athletes. Athletic Director Scott Giles continues to carry the torch for Coach Murphy by creating an atmosphere on campus where students are rewarded for their efforts on and off the playing field.
