LPU 2023-24 Warrior Athletes Receive Cliff Hamlow Character Award

January 25

Life Pacific University honors 2 of our student-athletes, Ellyanna Edwards and Nathan Brummett, as they receive the Golden State Athletic Conference Cliff Hamlow Award.

The GSAC honored 20 student-athletes from across the conference with the 2023 Cliff Hamlow Champion of Character award, which was given to one male and one female student-athlete on each GSAC campus who demonstrates outstanding athletic achievement, campus, and community leadership, future ambition and embraces the five core character values of the NAIA Champions of Character program (Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Sportsmanship and Servant Leadership).  Student-athletes must be at least a junior academically and carry a 3.0 GPA.  The award is named after former Commissioner Cliff Hamlow who served the conference from its inception in 1986 to 2012.  Dr. Hamlow was also a key leader in the creation of the NAIA’s Champions of Character program.

Congratulations to our Warriors!

This is Transformations, and if you want to understand what LPU's Media and Communications program is really about, this is the place to start.
