All-Star Dexter Fowler Graduates with Bachelor’s Degree and Keeps Promise to Parents

Dexter Fowler, a former Chicago Cubs centerfielder and World Series champion, recently graduated from Penn State with a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational and Professional Communication. Despite his successful baseball career, Fowler kept his promise to his parents by returning to school and earning his degree.

Fowler was drafted by the Rockies in 2004 and played in the majors from 2008-2021, with stints on various teams including the Astros, Cubs, Cardinals, and Angels. He was an All-Star in 2016 and won the World Series with Chicago that same year. However, when he was drafted, his parents insisted that he finish his education and go to college.

To fulfill their wishes, Fowler studied with Penn State’s World Campus and graduated from the College of Liberal Arts in a ceremony on Saturday, May 4th. In addition to his baseball career, Fowler also owns two companies and provides on-air baseball analysis for ESPN, NBC Sports, and FOX Sports. His commitment to education and dedication to his promise show his strong work ethic and integrity. Congratulations to Dexter Fowler on this well-deserved achievement!
