Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference<br />

continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate<br />

athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence.<br />

Comprised of 10 select private colleges -<br />

Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College,<br />

Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel<br />

College, Thomas More College, Washington &<br />

Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and<br />

Westminster College - the PAC remains a unique<br />

organization in this day of high-pressure intercollegiate<br />

athletics.<br />

With academics at the center of each member’s<br />

philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that<br />

an athletic program is a part of college life, but not<br />

an entity in itself.<br />

During the 2005-06 academic year, Chatham<br />

College, Geneva College and Saint Vincent College<br />

all joined the PAC. Chatham <strong>com</strong>peted for PAC<br />

championships for the first time during the 2007-<br />

08 academic year. Geneva and Saint Vincent are<br />

playing full conference schedules during their time<br />

as provisional members of NCAA Division III.<br />

The PAC annually crowns champions in 19<br />

sports. All-Conference status is awarded in all 19<br />

sports. Head coaches select all-league squads for<br />

all team sports, while in individual sports such as<br />

cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are<br />

based upon performances at the conference championships.<br />

The PAC annually awards its men’s and<br />

women’s All-Sports Trophies to the schools which<br />

perform best across the board in conference <strong>com</strong>petition.<br />

Washington & Jefferson won the Men’s All-<br />

Sports Trophy in 2008-09 while Westminster won<br />

the Women’s All-Sports Trophy.<br />

In 2008-09, the league named 604 student-athletes<br />

to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes<br />

all participating student-athletes who attain<br />

a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.<br />
