DePaul Earns AVCA Community Voting Award

CHICAGO – The DePaul women's volleyball program was among the 191 teams to earn the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Community Voting Award announced last week. The new award was started to encourage eligible coaches and student-athletes to exercise their civic duty through participation in the democratic process.

To earn the AVCA Community Voting Award, 100 percent of eligible student-athletes and staff had to vote in the 2020 November election.

"Our goal as leaders of young people is to model responsible behavior and to instill good habits," AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer sad. "Whether it's on the court, the classroom, or in the voting booth, coaches matter in the lives of their players. This award is another way to highlight that fact."

The Blue Demons were one of 96 Women's Division I programs to be honored and were one of eight BIG EAST teams recognized.

The AVCA Community Voting Award will be offered again in November 2022, the next national election day.
