Cameras flashed, the crowd roared with applause, and pride filled the room as the University came together to celebrate excellence at the Annual Swoopy Awards on April 30, 2025. Hosted by the Department of Athletics, the evening honored the relentless dedication, athletic prowess, and academic achievements of our student-athletes across all sports—including our growing esports program. From unforgettable performances on the field and court to standout moments in the classroom, the Swoopy Awards recognized not only athletic achievement but also the behind-the-scenes contributions of members of the University community whose volunteer efforts and support elevate the spirit of our teams every season.
