The pomp and circumstance of college graduation is here for Syracuse University. More than 125 Orange student-athletes are celebrating the accomplishment this weekend at the University's 168th commencement ceremony. Student-athletes from each of Syracuse's 20 teams are graduating from eight of Syracuse's schools and colleges with a collective 3.14 grade point average.

For the second year in a row Syracuse University Athletics ranks in the top 10 among Power 5 schools Graduation Success Rate (GSR). Syracuse's GSR – 95% -- is the highest at Syracuse since the NCAA started measuring the GSR. For each of the past three years Syracuse's GSR has increased to a new record level. Eleven athletics teams achieved a perfect 100 percent GSR, which is also the highest total in Syracuse history.
