BATON ROUGE - Friday morning saw 18 LSU student-athletes receive their degrees during the summer commencement ceremony inside of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on the Baton Rouge campus.

10 different LSU sports were represented among the graduates which included five football players, five combined members from the men’s & women’s track & field teams, one from men’s basketball, men’s swimming & diving, men’s tennis, volleyball and women’s basketball.

“We, in the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes, are very proud of our student-athletes' milestone. The 290th commencement usurps all that is going on politically and socially in Baton Rouge and nationwide,” said Kenneth O. Miles, executive director of the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes. “It is an opportunity to highlight and affirm that academic accolades will always open the doors for the next chapter.
