During halftime of a game against Lynchburg College, each Randolph player presented a professor or staff
member who has helped him. Some honored professors within their majors, while others
chose staff members who work closely with students.
The crowd erupted with cheers as the faculty and staff
members joined the team on the court.
“Randolph’s faculty and staff are great, and the
relationships they foster with our students make Randolph a special place for
all of us,” said Tina Hill, athletic director. “Recognizing them at
half-time is just one way we can say ‘thank you.’”
“Those that joined us on the floor tonight were selected by
our basketball players for the role they play in their lives, but the
thunderous roar of the crowd made clear that these individuals (and many more)
make a positive impact across campus.”
This is the third year that the Men’s Basketball Team has
chosen to show their appreciation for the College’s employees with a special
half-time presentation.
