The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) has announced its All-Academic honorees for the 2023-24 school year. This marks the first occasion that the conference has released fall, winter, and spring honorees simultaneously at the end of the academic year.

The GLIAC recognizes student-athletes in two categories: All-Academic, for those with a GPA between 3.0 and 3.49, and All-Academic Excellence, for those with a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
