MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Despite fighting the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Middle Tennessee's student-athletes made the university proud with their work in the classroom during the 2020 spring semester.
University President Sidney McPhee announced in mid-March the school would switch to remote learning when students returned from spring break. That meant students and professors had to switch completely to online learning for the rest of the semester.
Even though they had to adjust to life without sports and away from campus, the Blue Raiders responded by excelling at remote learning, finishing the spring semester with an overall department GPA of 3.
