NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State student-athletes set a new semester departmental grade-point average (GPA) record of 3.31 during the Spring 2019 semester, topping the previous mark of 3.24 set during the previous two semesters, and five teams tied or beat their previous team GPA records as announced by Assistant Athletics Director for Academics and Life Skills Joe Klausner on Monday.
"Seeing these impressive numbers earned by our student-athletes in the classroom illustrates that our students are buying into the academics and athletics culture we expect of our Redbirds," Klausner said. "Clearly, these numbers are not possible without the tremendous support from the leadership team, athletics advisors, compliance/student services office, instructors, and many others behinds the scenes.
