"I could not be more proud of our student-athletes' performance in the classroom this fall," said Assistant Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Support Services Allison McCoy. "Having a number as high as 77% earning a 3.0+ GPA is an amazing accomplishment and a testament to all of their hard work!"
 
Just as impressive are the 171 Radford student-athletes who reached the 3.4 GPA mark, placing them on the Radford University Dean's List. Our of those 171, 45 of them had a perfect 4.0 GPA.
