When senior Malik Johnson isn't competing in the high jump for Cal State Fullerton's men's track team, he's studying international business with a concentration in Mandarin Chinese. He studied abroad and completed an internship in Shanghai last summer.

Johnson has also created an app with a few of his friends called ShuPlug, a space where sneaker aficionados can buy and sell sneakers.

"Sports has given me the ability to make other areas of my life a lot stronger," Johnson said, "including my organizational skills, my discipline, in and out of the classroom."

Johnson is one of many Cal State Fullerton student-athletes excelling in the classroom, as the department boasts five programs with perfect Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores in 2014-2015.
