Student support and pride for the team was higher than ever before. As the year came to a close, it was evident that with the new changes made to the campus, including the addition of a new chancellor, the University community began to take a closer look at the well-being of the campus.

Most agreed that improvements needed to be made in able to foster a stronger campus unity. Despite the changes that were made, one constant on the University campus was Senior Walk. Each graduating senior was engraved in the history of the University. It was rumored throughout the year that the tradition of Senior Walk would end soon, but everyone was reassured at the Student Alumni Board Grad Finale for graduating seniors that the tradition would continue. 6 ’ OPENING
