SXU Fun and Pride
Last week was SXU’s homecoming week and although I was busy with classes, I had to make time to participate in a few activities!
The Heritage Ball on Friday was a dinner and dance hosted at the Chicago Cultural Center. The Heritage Ball was a celebration of the O’Brien Medallion Recipients. The O’Brien Medallion is named for Mother Mary Agatha O’Brien, in recognition of her founding role as one of the original Chicago Sisters of Mercy. This medallion was awarded as an acknowledgement of these students’ commitment to co-curricular involvement and leadership, service to the campus and local community, as well as academic achievement in the their respective College. Service and leadership are foundations that Saint Xavier University stands on and ones that helped me choose them as a college. I was invited to attend the ball because of my involvement as a student leader. It was a well needed relaxing night of dancing and pictures!
That Saturday, I also attended the Homecoming Football game! We played against Trinity International University and of course we won. The score was 40-14. We are very proud of our Cougars who have a current season record of 4-0!
Sometimes I think pictures can tell stories betters than words. Feel free to view pictures from both events below!
