Lot of support systems in place these days to help all students, including athletes.

A great achievement for The Institute.

It should be noted that it takes 3 grading periods to flunk out though, and there are only two in a standard academic year now (summer is optional).

Seriously though, the "Look to your left, look to your right, because one of you won't be here by the end of the year." attitude is (mostly) gone. The six-year graduation rate is pretty good too.

Something to be proud of.

Interesting how the approach has changed. It seemed like it used to be a badge of honor when the retention rate was far lower.
