Legacy Scholarship Students Receive Awards
The Alumni Legacy Scholarship Endowment was established in 2015 to encourage the children or other immediate family members of alumni of the AV抖阴 to attend the university.
鈥淲e are so happy to be able to help these legacy students,鈥� said Jasmine Smith, Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving. 鈥淲e are energized to raise funds for them because we know every dollar counts to AV抖阴 students. And we host the best cornhole tournament around.鈥�
Each June, the Roarin鈥� on the River Low Country Shrimp Boil is a hot, happy holiday when alumni gather for a feast and outdoor games. The food is traditional: shrimp, corn, potatoes. The annual cornhole tournament is a popular part of the day.
