To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have significant achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
DiPauli von Treuheim, who was the 2014-15 Union Athletics Junior Scholar-Athlete of the Year, has received the team's Thomas Van Arden Award for the highest grade point average in each of his previous three seasons. A two-time ECAC Hockey All-Academic honoree, he received the Barry Goldwater Scholarship, Tau Beta Pi's Engineering Scholarship, the four-year Michael R. Novack Scholarship, the NSF-REU Fellowship Grant and is also a candidate for the Rhodes Scholarship.
A native of Downers Grove, Ill., DiPaul von Treuheim is the co-founder of the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorder at Albany Medical. He visited and created a friendship with terminally ill children prior to home games and invited them to meet the team after the games. As a role model for Hockey in Harlem, he inspires young, underprivileged inner-city youth hockey players to pursue an education and sport-focused lifestyle.
The 20 candidates will be cut to 10 finalists in February, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
The Senior CLASS Award winner will be named during the Frozen Final Four in April in Tampa, Fla.
