The credit for these events goes to the members of SAC and SGA who are working hard to increase attendance at sporting events and boost school spirit. The year's first spirit event was a campus barbecue that took place at the doubleheader men's and women's soccer games. Other events have included hanging signs for tennis and field hockey and putting ads in the Contact for sailing and cross country. Cathy Brush, SAC chair, emphasized the need for school spirit. Our goal is basically to increase enthusiastic attendance at games.
Athletes spend large amounts of time practicing and competing and they deserve our support.
One of the best ways to bring together the college community is through school spirit. The committees from both SAC and SGA intend to come up with a spirit activity for each sport during its season. Future plans include volleyball and crew events as well as half-time activities during basketball games and another barbecue at the first double header lacrosse games. Jenny Marchik, one of the two SAC spirit directors, a member of the women's volleyball team, and a member of the athletic advisory board, strongly encouraged members of the campus community to get involved in the events.
