WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – With the conclusion of finals last week, Wake Forest University had 28 student-athletes complete their academic requirements and earn their degrees this fall, which includes five graduate degrees and one certificate.
This group of esteemed Demon Deacons graduates have collectively worn the Old Gold and Black in over 1,000 athletic contests, an Atlantic Division football title, four bowl championships and the Deacs men's soccer and field hockey grads all competed in the NCAA Tournament. Additionally, our volleyball and women's track and field / cross country graduates each competed in the postseason.
"We are extremely proud of the accomplishments of these young men and women in the classroom as they worked extremely hard over the course of their academic careers to earn their Wake Forest degree," Sr. Associate AD Jane Caldwell said. "Completing their degree is an important part of providing a World Class Student-Athlete Experience and we are grateful for the academic support of director of athletics John Currie and all our head coaches."
