🦁 ONE BIG THING

Classroom Records Shattered. The Nittany Lions set a spring record with 571 students with a 3.0 semester GPA. That’s 72% of all athletes!

There were 267 student-athletes on the Dean’s List, and another record-breaking 100 student-athletes who registered a 4.0 semester GPA.

Overall, the combined GPA of all student-athletes during the spring semester was 3.28. Yup, that’s another record!
