Former MLB star Dexter Fowler graduates from Penn State with a degree in organizational and professional communication.

Dexter Fowler, a former Chicago Cubs center fielder and World Series champion, recently graduated from Penn State with a degree in organizational and professional communication. At his graduation ceremony, he was the student marshal and played in the majors from 2008 to 2021, with stints with various teams, including the Rockies, Astros, Cubs, Cardinals and Angels.

When Fowler was drafted by the Rockies in 2004, his parents insisted he finish school and go to college. Despite a successful baseball career, Fowler kept his promise to his parents by going back to school and earning his bachelor’s degree. He studied at Penn State’s World Campus and graduated from the College of Liberal Arts on Saturday, May 4.

Fowler’s dedication to education is evident not only through his degree but also through his ownership of two companies and his commitment to providing on-air baseball analysis for ESPN, NBC Sports and FOX Sports. His strong work ethic and integrity have helped him achieve success both on and off the field. Congratulations to Dexter Fowler on this well-deserved achievement!
