Overview
The Chattanooga Mocs continue to produce in all areas. While the men's golf team just returned from qualifying for the NCAA Championships, the spring semester grades are released with more of the same for the department.
 
This spring's 3.4522 grade point average marks the third semester in a row with a new departmental record. Last spring's 3.4339 topped the charts before the Mocs set it aside in the fall with 3.4440. The .0101 gradual increase was followed by .0082 this time around as Chattanooga soars along.
 
Quotable
"Just a remarkable achievement…to break the record for a third straight semester, I'm incredibly proud. This is a testament to our student-athletes' desire to excel in every facet of the college experience. Hats off also to Assistant Vice Chancellor Dr. Emily Blackman and her staff in shepherding another phenomenal effort. I'd also congratulate our coaches for hitting such high marks across the board." – Vice Chancellor for Athletics Mark Wharton
