Westminster College is home to more than 40 professional athletes - roughly two percent of the college’s undergraduate enrollment. Most schools have intercollegiate athletes, but not many (if any) can boast such a large percentage of professional and semi-professional athletes. From mogul skiing, to Nordic jumping, to motocross racing, and more, Westminster student pro-athletes are doing great things on the slopes and other terrain, as well as in the classroom.
