During halftime of the Avila University men’s basketball game on, February 25th, Senior Night took place. Senior Night is recognition for students who have completed four years as student athletes. This ceremony was a way for the team and school to honor athletes for their hard work, dedication, and many achievements.

Several senior athletes were recognized on Senior Night. Each student was introduced separately and a brief biography was given. This included, name, year, major, and plans after college. When announced, athletes were greeted with hugs and kind words, as well as flowers and/or something memorable from the coaches and team.
Out of many, I too was categorized as a senior athlete. Previously, I attended Johnson county community college, where I danced for three years. After receiving my associate’s degree, I transferred to Avila University, and was offered a scholarship in dance. Although I was a new student, it was in fact my last year to participate in dancing for college.
Senior Night was a special night, full of many memories. It was a fun way of closing the year and beginning a new chapter in life. This event brought friends and family together and allowed senior athletes to reflect on the progress of their time in college.  |
