Mocs Graduate 26 Student-Athletes With Degrees

Monday, May 18, 2020

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Athletics Department celebrates the Class of 2020 with 26 student-athletes earning degrees at the end of the spring semester. The actual commencement ceremonies at UTC have been postponed until later in the summer, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I am amazed by the efforts and adaptations that the entire University had to go through to close out this spring semester," stated UTC Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Mark Wharton. "I hate that these student-athletes had to wrap up their degrees under these stressful times, but they did an outstanding job."

Included the Class of 2020 student-athletes are 19 different degrees earned, including seven Master's Degrees. Eight student-athletes graduated with honors, while nine made an All-Southern Conference Team. Seven of these Mocs won at least one SoCon during their careers at UTC.
