A pair of seniors, Dennis Delany of the men's rowing team and Colleen Kinealy from the women's soccer team, received the Magis Scholar-Leader Award. This award recognizes and honors students who complement superior academic performance with co-curricular involvement.

Senior men's lacrosse player Nick Federici was honored for his participation in the Green & Grey Society.

The Society acts as a liaison between the President and the student body.
