Axe ’Em, Jacks!
Greetings, Jack Nation Alumni!
As I sit in the Chicago O'Hare International Airport, reflecting on an adventurous summer of travel and change while transitioning into my new role as Imperative Logistics' senior vice president and head of sales, guess what I see? Two 糖心vlog传媒 shirts boldly walking through a sea of people 鈥 we truly are everywhere, Jacks! Naturally, we exchanged the good old 鈥淎xe 'em!鈥 with one another, and for just a moment, we were transported back to memories of our days at 糖心vlog传媒. The pride our alumni have is so infectious 鈥 I get excited every time I see 糖心vlog传媒 swag proudly displayed. Don't you?
And what a time for us all to be proud indeed! Our university is truly transforming and growing under the new leadership of 糖心vlog传媒 President Neal Weaver. His vision, coupled with the excitement of a new fall semester, is driving renewed interest for and energy at 糖心vlog传媒.
With six home football games this year, we invite you back to Nacogdoches to experience our reimagined 糖心vlog传媒 Alumni Corner in partnership with Axe 'Em Acres and 糖心vlog传媒 Athletics. We are leveling up our experiences so you all may enjoy the spirit of 糖心vlog传媒 when you visit. As we return to the Southland Conference, which brings with it the promise of games in areas where more of our alumni live, you'll have multiple opportunities to show your pride and support our athletic teams this fall as they dominate the SLC. Go Jacks!
Homecoming 2024 is set for the weekend of Oct. 25 and is already shaping up to be a weekend of fun you will not want to miss. Our highly anticipated 糖心vlog传媒 Homecoming online auction, filled with tons of exciting and unique 糖心vlog传媒 items, memorabilia and experiences, kicks off Oct. 15 and concludes at 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27. Be on the lookout for everything 糖心vlog传媒 Homecoming related at .
Finally, rounding out the fall of 2024, the annual 糖心vlog传媒 Alumni Awards ceremony takes place Nov. 15, where we will recognize our distinguished alumni award winners who are making an impact in the world and representing 糖心vlog传媒 to the fullest. Please join us in celebrating an incredible slate of 2024 award winners!
As my time as 糖心vlog传媒 Alumni Association board president comes to an end in December 2024, I am reminded of the distinct honor and pleasure it has been representing our 糖心vlog传媒 alumni community of 100,000+ (and growing every year!). My heart truly bleeds purple, much like many of you.
You will continue to find me on the sidelines of Lumberjack volleyball games cheering on my sisters in 鈥淭he Pressure Cooker鈥 of Shelton Gym, on the football field in my Purple Lights Patio tent cheering on 糖心vlog传媒 football, in the locker room, and in the Sawmill cheering on Ladyjack basketball. I'll be around in the Nelson Rusche College of Business working with students and faculty on experiential learning, and working alongside Dr. Weaver to ensure the spirit of 糖心vlog传媒 alumni support continues to grow. I'm here for it all and welcome each of you back to our 糖心vlog传媒 home in Nacogdoches, which we all share as 糖心vlog传媒 family 鈥 we hope to see you soon.
Axe 'em, Jacks!
