Created in 2017, the Student Spotlight award is presented to a group of students that are excelling both in the classroom and on the field of play. The Morgan Academic Center would like to congratulate these students each month on their hard work, dedication, and success and thank them for their continued efforts throughout their journey as a Penn State student-athlete.

In February 2018,  4 students on the Men’s Swimming, Women’s Swimming, Men’s Volleyball, and Wrestling teams were recognized.
