MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Twenty-two Memphis Tiger student-athletes representing nine sport programs are scheduled to graduate Sunday during winter commencement ceremonies at FedExForum. Eleven of the student-athletes are graduating with honors.
Degrees to be conferred include organizational leadership, marketing management, business information & technology, business economics, and criminal justice, among others.
"Our entire Memphis Athletics family congratulates these student-athletes on their graduation," Memphis Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Laird Veatch said. "Excelling in the classroom is the foundation of our mission, and for 11 of these 22 student-athletes to graduate with honors is incredibly impressive especially given the challenges of progressing towards a degree while being a student-athlete and in the middle of a global pandemic.
