The Williams award was to recognize outstanding student-athletes who combine athletics excellence with scholarship and service. Honorees must be rising seniors, and each winner is selected by vote of the Athletic Department staff.
Recipients are chosen on the basis of academic success, athletics accomplishments and contributions within their sport, as well as his or her involvement in the campus or greater Greensboro communities.

Winners personify the ideal model of the scholar-athlete: outstanding students in the classroom who extend themselves beyond an academic setting—through interaction and involvement with peers, or in community service.

Greensboro College, founded in 1838 and affiliated with the United Methodist Church, is located in the College Hill Historic District of Greensboro, N.C. With an enrollment of approximately 1300 men and women, the College stresses a small community atmosphere and maintains a student-to-faculty ratio of 14-1.

Greensboro College was ranked number one in teacher education programs in the Institutions of Higher Education Performance Report released by the State Board of Education. The Pride fields intercollegiate athletic teams in 16 sports.
