The families and friends of ΒιΆΉΣ³»­΄«Γ½ students who have passed away during recent academic terms joined with campus leaders and other members of the ΒιΆΉΣ³»­΄«Γ½ 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 β€œEternal Knight.”

In its 12th year, Eternal Knights invites students’ 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 ΒιΆΉΣ³»­΄«Γ½β€™s campuses commemorated the lives of lost students by participating in a moment of silence at 3 p.m.

β€œAlthough our university is one of the largest in the country, every student plays a role in making our university special and unique,” said SGA President Cortez Whatley. β€œWhen we lose a fellow Knight, we also experience pain together and mourn together, as a community does.”
