The oldest graduate was 63, and the youngest was 19. The graduating class includes 118 with a perfect 4.0 GPA and 30 veterans; 48 percent of the undergraduates are the first in their family to earn a college degree. Students from 36 states in the nation and 21 different countries graduated.
Graduates include those on the Dean’s List (overall grade point average of 3.50 to 3.99) and on the President’s List (a 4.0). The three levels of honor recognition are Summa Cum Laude (3.90-4.00), Magna Cum Laude (3.75-3.89) and Cum Laude (3.50-3.74).
A student-centered approach of recruiting and retaining the very best is part of the University’s long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.
That plan is fueled by the One West comprehensive fundraising campaign, which raised more than $200 million dollars, the largest such campaign in Texas Panhandle history.
