As commencement ceremonies take place in Littlejohn Coliseum on Friday, 55 Clemson student-athletes join the ranks of alumni as they earn degrees.
In the NCAA’s most recently released Graduation Success Rate, Clemson’s overall athletic department rate of 91 ranked third nationally among public institutions.
Among the graduating class are 13 members of the Tiger football program, a pair of leaders from the 2014 ACC Champion men’s soccer team and NCAA women’s indoor 800-meter champion Natoya Goule. The class includes three members of the 21st-ranked women’s tennis team, which is in Tuscaloosa, Ala., for the first round of the NCAA Championships and takes on South Alabama Friday afternoon.
