“I am extremely proud of what this group of Hurricanes has accomplished in the classroom,” Vice President/Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich said. “Graduation represents a significant milestone and moment for our student-athletes, and I am excited to see where their life’s journey takes them from here.”
