The end of the school year is near and Georgia Tech is set to host commencement ceremonies this week, which will include 63 student athletes graduating.

In total, 53 of the graduating student athletes will be receiving bachelor's degrees and 10 will be receiving Master's degrees

Tech athletics honored the graduates last Wednesday at its semiannual graduation brunch. Featured speakers included AD Ryan Alpert, golf’s Benjamin Reuter, women’s basketball’s Catherine Alben, director of sport psychology Dr. Jenny Kraska and golf head coach Bruce Heppler.

Want to know the best stat about Heppler and the golf program? Heppler, who is retiring at the end of the season, has maintained a perfect 100% graduation rate during his 31 seasons at the helm of Tech’s golf program, a tremendous accomplishment.

Georgia Tech’s commencement ceremonies for students receiving bachelor’s degrees will be held on Thursday and Friday at McCamish Pavilion, and the master’s ceremony will be held on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

In 2025, Georgia Tech athletics once again matches its all-time high by posting a 94% NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR), marking the fourth-straight year that Tech has matched or set a new GSR record.

Prior to 2021, Georgia Tech had never achieved a GSR above 90% and prior to 2016, Tech never had a GSR above 85%. Georgia Tech’s 94% GSR is also higher than the national average of 90%, while 12 of the Yellow Jackets’ 13 teams – baseball, women’s basketball, men’s cross country/track & field, women’s cross country/track & field, football, golf, softball, men’s swimming & diving, women’s swimming & diving, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and volleyball – have team GSRs that are at or above the national average in their respective sports.

Leading the way are five programs – golf, softball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and volleyball – that all have perfect 100% GSR, while football’s 93% GSR exceeds the national average in its sport by 9%.
