This weekend may lack the pomp and circumstance of normal graduation weekends, but the achievements are just as impressive.
Close to 60 Charlotte 49ers student-athletes along with several members of the 49ers spirit groups are expected to graduate this weekend even though graduation ceremonies have been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Graduation from our great university is the ultimate goal of every Charlotte student-athlete and we are proud of this graduating class especially in light of the current situation," said Mark Verburg, Director of the 49ers Athletic Academic Center. "Though their senior year did not end as anticipated, each showed the same determination, perseverance, and grit that they displayed in competition in the classroom this spring.
