This weekend 48 University of Idaho student-athletes will complete the most meaningful step in their collegiate careers: earning a degree. Each wrote a unique story along the way, including many who found success in Moscow beyond their field of competition. Few students at any university, however, carry the academic credentials of Vandal swimming student-athlete Emily Kliewer.
A mechanical engineering major, Kliewer will be among the new graduates celebrated Saturday. And if the previous seven semesters are any indication, she will do so with a 4.0 grade-point average.
This fall Kliewer will enroll at Georgia Tech, in pursuit of a doctoral degree in mechanical engineering.
