2021-22 Fact Book
Graceland competes in one of the NAIA’s most challenging conferences — the Heart of America — and has seen national recognition, including a men’s basketball national championship in 2018 and a two-time national champion in wrestling in 2020 and 2021.
From start to finish Graceland gave us the opportunity to succeed academically and athletically.
I chose Graceland because of the value I saw within the campus. With large career aspirations, I knew I could get the tools necessary to success. Whether it be from competing on the basketball team, or joining and leading other clubs and organization, I knew I would be set up for future success. Graceland gave me the ability to succeed after I graduated!
