by Laurie Bollig, CoSIDA Director of Membership Engagement

Two prominent women in medicine and business, a successful college football coach and an Olympian highlight the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame Class of 2022.

Jennifer Babik, a four-time All-Ivy League softball player, led Princeton University to the Women’s College World Series. Gail (Koziara) Boudreaux of Dartmouth College earned basketball All-America honors and  is the only women’s basketball player to be recognized as the Ivy League Player of the Year three times. Matt Campbell was an NCAA Division III All-American football player at the University of Mount Union, leading his teams to a collective 54-1 record and three national championships. U.S. Olympian Marty Liquori was a five-time NCAA individual champion while competing in track and field and cross country at Villanova.

Created in 1988, the Academic All-America Hall of Fame recognizes former Academic All-Americas who received a college degree at least 10 years ago, have achieved lifetime success in their professional careers, and are committed to philanthropic causes.

The four inductees into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame will be honored at a luncheon on Tuesday, June 28, 2022, in conjunction with the CoSIDA Convention at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. The 2022 Dick Enberg Award recipient, to be announced at a later date, will also be recognized at the luncheon. For more information on the Academic All-America Hall of Fame, click here.
