COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
When not in the classroom or in the pool, the Terriers devote
much of their time to being active in the community. Besides
hosting an annual Special Olympics aquatics competition with
over 500 participants, they also volunteer at the American
Cancer Society's "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk"
and in the BU Athletic Department's holiday reading program.
Senior Tina Hoppe serves as the 2012-13 president of BU's
Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) after serving as the
president of the America East SAAC last season.
BU prides itself in developing well-rounded student-athletes who
apply themselves in the classroom. Last year, the BU men's and
women's swimming and diving teams boasted the highest GPAs
among all other America East swimming and diving programs.
The Terrier women boasted a 3.24 team GPA while the BU men
posted a 3.02 team GPA. Thirty members of the swimming and
diving team were named to the Winter/Spring 2012 America
East Academic Honor Roll with 13 Terriers earning a place on the
Commissioner's Honor Roll for earning a GPA of 3.5 or higher.

TEAM SPIRIT
CHAMPIONSHIP SUCCESS
Over the past seven seasons, the Terriers have captured 69 titles at the
America East Championships. Last season, BU swept the conference
championships for the first time since 1994 with the men earning
their fourth conference title (1991, 1994, 2002, 2012) and the women
earning their seventh conference crown (1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 2009,
2010, 2012). BU has also sent a total of six competitors to the NCAA
Championships since 2008. Last season, Melina Matyas (left) earned her
third consecutive Diver of the Meet honor while Connor Stuewe (right) was
named Men's Rookie of the Meet at the conference championships.
Promoting an atmosphere of togetherness is
what the program strives for with current,
past and future Terriers all working together in
accomplishing one goal as a closely knit group. At
each of BU's meets, fans will see the swimmers and
divers cheering on their teammates to succeed.
