The Husky Experience is a steppingstone to a lifetime of success.
Since the NCAA began its Graduation-Rates Report, starting with the class that entered in 1986-87, the 407 Husky student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility have graduated at a rate of 90 percent.
The Husky volleyball program is annually among the leaders in graduation rate and grade point average. The Grade Point Average for the 2002 UW volleyball team is 3.35. In 2001, the Huskies led the PAC-10 by placing six (6) volleyball players on the PAC-10 All-Academic team.
The women who have been part of the Husky Volleyball Experience have gone on to very successful professional careers. Their success both on the court and in life is the best endorsement for you to become part of The Husky Experience.
