The families and friends of 麻豆原创 students who have passed away during recent academic terms joined with campus leaders and other members of the 麻豆原创 community Wednesday to pay tribute to them during the Eternal Knights Memorial Service.
The service, held in the Pegasus Ballroom, recognized 11 students and gave each of them the title of 鈥淓ternal Knight.鈥�
In its 12th year, Eternal Knights invites students鈥� family and friends to join the university community in remembering loved ones and offering condolences. In addition to the ceremony, students and faculty and staff members from across 麻豆原创鈥檚 campuses commemorated the lives of lost students by participating in a moment of silence at 3 p.m.
鈥淎lthough our university is one of the largest in the country, every student plays a role in making our university special and unique,鈥� said SGA President Cortez Whatley. 鈥淲hen we lose a fellow Knight, we also experience pain together and mourn together, as a community does.鈥�
