The 147 students comprise 39 different degree programs and all 21 sports. Seventeen members served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, twenty were part of the Tiger Leadership Academy and seventeen others were part of the POWER Women’s Leadership Academy.
Among the graduates are members of Men’s Soccer, Men’s Track, Women’s Golf, Football, and Baseball teams that won ACC Titles during their careers, the 2024 Elite Eight men’s basketball program.
