Seniors Continue Tradition of Academic Success

The Wake Forest Men's Rugby team continued to show that it is committed to excellence not only on the field, but also in the classroom. The nine team members who received their undergraduate degrees last week graduated with a combined GPA of 3.27. Michael Duffy and Trent Justice graduated magna cum laude, while David Sage graduated cum laude. While the Class of 2010 fell short of the mark set by the Class of 2009, whose six members graduated with a combined GPA of 3.45, team faculty advisor Dr. Bill Marcum was still pleased. "These young men are at Wake Forest first and foremost to get an excellent education," said Marcum, a Finance professor in the undergraduate School of Business. "The team's coaches and I take pride in the academic success of our student-athletes and we know that a big part of our job is to make sure they are doing their best in the classroom."
