12.16.2022 | Athletics
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State Athletics Department recognized 27 student-athletes who earned their diplomas at the bi-annual Student-Athlete Graduation Luncheon. Spring graduates that play spring sports were also recognized at the event.
Iowa State University's most-recent 95 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) score led the Big 12 Conference and set a school record for the seventh-consecutive year according to the 2022 Division I academic performance metrics.
ISU's institutional GSR score has improved in each of the last eight years, from a 77 percent mark in 2014 to its most-recent 95 percent score, while establishing a school record in each of the last seven years. Iowa State's 2022 mark also came in 13 points higher than the NCAA FBS average and five points better than the Big 12 average.
Congratulations to the 2022 Cyclone student-athlete fall graduates.
