ASHEVILLE, N.C. –The Pursuit of Champions and Leaders for UNC Asheville athletics officially culminates when student-athletes graduate, and 42 more were added to the prestigious list of Bulldogs to graduate from the institution on Saturday, May 12, 2018.
The newest 42 athletic graduates took part in the May 2018 Commencement exercises held at the quadrangle on the UNC Asheville campus. Â
UNC Asheville Director of Athletics Janet R. Cone is extremely proud of the 42 graduating Bulldog student-athletes.Â
Â
"Speaking for the entire department, I want to congratulate these tremendous student-athletes and wish all of them a great deal of future success," Cone said. "It's been a special 2017-18 athletic year. We say it all the time, but truthfully sometimes I think what our student-athletes are doing in the classroom is lost in all of the great things they are doing athletically for our University. Their efforts athletically are just one part of the story. We truly have student-athletes at UNC Asheville that value and champion pursing greatness with their academic, athletic and lifelong goals."
