Warriors Complete Impressive Semester in the Classroom

WSU sets school record with 46 perfect 4.00 term GPAs.

DETROIT -- The student-athletes at Wayne State University continue to excel in the classroom.  A school record forty-six (46) student-athletes recorded a perfect 4.00 term GPA with 74 percent of Warrior student-athletes receiving above a 3.00 for the recently completed Fall 2018 semester.  The entire student-athlete population posted a 3.32 term GPA, with a cumulative GPA for all student-athletes at 3.30.

"It is remarkable what our student athletes do in the classroom," stated WSU Director of Athletics Rob Fournier.  "With every team having a term GPA no less than a 3.05 GPA, and 74 percent of our student-athletes with no less than a 3.00 GPA, that is exceptional.   Those academic achievements are complemented by a record forty-six (46) student athletes with a perfect 4.00 GPA.

"These student athletes underscore the primary objectives of the University and should be acknowledged along with our academic support group: Kim Clexton, Theresa Arist, Dr. Laurel Whalen, Candice Howard, Kelsey Meyers and Ashley Dsida.  Those who are looking for an example of how academic support services and dedicated student-athletes can achieve success, need look no further than the athletic department."
