"Our head coaches have made a commitment to graduating student-athletes," ULM Coordinator of Academic Counseling Carmen Wright said. "That commitment begins from the first recruiting contact and it continues throughout the student-athlete's playing career and beyond. Our coaches don't pay lip service to academic success; they're truly committed to it. The student-athletes are held accountable for their work in the academic arena, and our coaches provide positive reinforcement by acknowledging a job well done.
 
"Commencement weekend is always both satisfying and gratifying as these student-athletes achieved an important milestone in their lives."
