Thirty-six percent of Central Michigan University’s student-athletes made the fall semester dean’s list with a 3.5 GPA or higher, including 22 with a perfect 4.0s, according to Tera Albrecht, Associate AD for Student-Athlete Services.
CMU’s 462 student-athletes, spread across 74 majors, compiled an overall grade-point average of 3.179 in the first semester of the 2015-16 academic year, the seventh consecutive semester CMU student-athletes have collectively earned a 3.1 or higher GPA. That is the highest ever for a semester in department history.
“We put every student-athlete in position to succeed in their sport by hiring quality coaches, improving facilities and training techniques, and we work just as hard to ensure each has the resources to do well academically and earn a degree from CMU,” Director of Athletics Dave Heeke said.
