📈 RAISING THE BAR

The ODU Athletic Department has always been about building champions.

Those champions aren’t just in their sport, but also in the classroom and life.

This past year, the Monarchs continued to raise the bar as the 423 studetn-athletes set a record high in grade-point average for the spring semester (3.288) and a record high for a full year (3.27).
