Cartier, who plans to major in Sport Management and German, is among a group that arrived with the highest recorded average GPA and ACT cohort scores in Heidelberg’s history, according to Doug Kellar, vice president for enrollment management. According to Kellar, the class brings a diverse set of experiences and backgrounds to the campus. Twenty percent are from out of state, 24 percent are minority students and 39 percent are first-generation college students, said the announcement from readMedia.
