Saint Leo University’s Fall Family Festival is an event hosted every year to bring families and students together to enjoy different events on campus. This year, the school decided to join both the annual Homecoming and the festival, meaning double the fun for all that attended. Over the course of three days, many events took place, like the student talent show, the alumni baseball game, the Lions Rally, the family fest, and so much more.
It was a cloudy and windy day, but that did not stop the Director of the Office of Military Affairs and Services, Dr. Lawrence “Larry” Braue, from organizing the Veterans Day ceremony on the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 8.
On Saturday, Nov. 12, the first ever Kayaking & Fishing tournament was held by Lake Jovita. The event was hosted by the Sporting Clays team in awareness to help them raise money for their team. Event attendees showed their support, got to enjoy delicious food, and got to go kayaking and fishing.
On Nov. 11, we all come together to honor and celebrate our veterans. Saint Leo University has a long military heritage, dating all the way back to 1973 when Saint Leo first recognized military personnel and their families as an important part of the student community.
