Not only did the students rise to the occasion, but they surpassed the academic numbers from last fall across the board," Associate Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Services Dr. Ron Moses said. "The increase in academic success is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of the student-athletes. Additional avenues of success were provided by the flexibility and innovation from coaches and staff members to support the student-athletes, and the planning and foresight from President Broderick, Provost Agho, and other university officials and campus partners who provided the students with safe and engaging learning environments."
