ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com) -- This weekend marked the fall 2014 commencement ceremonies at UCF, and 24 Knights graduated from 10 different sports.
"We are very pleased with this latest group of graduating student-athletes," Associate Athletic Director for Academic Services Kimya Massey said. "Their willingness to sacrifice and represent their school has been great to watch. They are a part of a record number of championships both at the conference and national level and part of the highest graduation success rate in school history. They are setting a great example for all future Knights."
UCF student-athletes are graduating at a higher rate than any other NCAA Division I public institution in the nation. Based off information released by the NCAA in October, UCF's Graduation Success Rate of 95 percent is 11 points above the national average and marks a school record.
"Thanks to the ASSA staff, coaches and our great campus support as they are all a part of this class and its feats," Massey said.
