The City University of New York Athletic Conference annually recognizes its best and brightest student-athletes, who not only excel in athletics, but succeed in the classroom as well. Over the next few weeks, CUNYAC will recognize those who truly embody what it means to be a student-athlete.
Anna Curran, a multi-sport student-athlete at Brooklyn College, holds a 3.5 grade-point average as an Exercise Science major. Curran is a member of the Bulldogs' women's soccer, softball and swimming programs.
As a member of the women's soccer team, Curran racked up six goals and six assists for 18 points in 39 career appearances. Anna guided the Bulldogs to the CUNYAC Women's Soccer Championship semfinals in 2019.
On the softball field, Curran played 80 games in a Bulldogs uniform, pacing the squad in hits, doubles and assists in 2019.
Curran has been just as busy outside of competition during her time at Brooklyn College, serving as the institution's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) President. Anna has also excelled in photography, having one of her photos nominated for CUNY Photo of the Year.
For her sportsmanship, dedication and leadership, Anna was voted 2020 Athlete of the Year at the Make a Difference Awards ceremony presented by the Brooklyn College Division of Student Affairs. Anna was also the winner of the nine-week CUNYAC Trivia Contest, being awarded a brand-new iPad.
