Scholar-athletes at the College of Staten Island got a real treat for their hard work, and a chance for some quality rest and relaxation after the rigors of the school year, as they took in a Staten Island Yankees game last night at the Richmond County Ballpark in St. George. The student-athletes were honored at the Athletic Awards Banquet at the end of May and were invited to tonight’s event to highlight their particular achievement in the classroom, as all attendees boast a 3.2 GPA or better, garnering them scholar-athlete status.
The student-athletes enjoyed a complement of food and soft drinks as they socialized with their fellow teammates and administrators, enjoying the luxury treatment and watching the Yankees take on the Hudson Valley Renegades in NY-Penn League play.
"Tonight is a great event," said CSI Interim Director of Athletics David Pizzuto. "Our scholar-athletes are not only tremendous students, but they are quality people, and to sit back, share conversations, and take in the ball game with them is a good time and a small commendation on a job well done."
