Craig Bohl was the keynote speaker of the event speaking to 1,635 undergraduate students, 368 graduate students, 57 College of Law students and 36 School of Pharmacy students.
Cowboy and Cowgirl student-athletes are earning degrees in 36 different majors, including one doctorate of pharmacy and one master's degree. The combined cumulative grade-point average entering the 2019 spring semester for the UW student-athletes graduating this spring was an impressive 3.42.
"With all the successes that our student-athletes have enjoyed during their time here at the university, earning their college degree is truly the accomplishment that carries the most meaning during these challenging times," said
University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman. "It is exciting to see them reach this milestone in their lives, but it is also sad to see their college careers come to an end. This class has provided Cowboy and Cowgirl fans with many memories through their athletic careers. We will miss them, but we wish them well as they move forward into their professional lives."
