This 12th annual event will celebrate student-athletes' academic achievements and athletic accomplishments, in addition to their campus leadership and their involvement in community service.
Approximately 24 percent of Moravian's student body competes on one of Moravian's 22 intercollegiate athletic teams. During the past fall semester, 202 of the Greyhounds' student-athletes achieved Dean's Honors List accolades from Moravian with a 3.50 GPA or higher, accounting for over 40 percent of Moravian's total student-athletes and 25.9 percent of the overall Dean's Honors List from the University.
The Greyhounds will host an Iron Hounds versus Steel Battalion ROTC event on John Makuvek Field at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11 as five teams of student-athletes will face off against a team of ROTC cadets in the Army PT test. On Thursday, April 13, members of all Moravian's teams will head to William Penn Elementary School to read a book and help with a fun activity in each classroom. The athletic department is also co-sponsoring the move Invictus on campus Thursday evening for all Moravian students.
The Hounds will participate in the Landmark Conference Gear Day on Wednesday, April 12, and the Blue & Grey will take over the Landmark Conference Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/landmark_conf/) on Sunday, April 16.
Moravian will also have several student-athletes that will tell why they chose Moravian University and what they like about competing at Division III. Those graphics will be posted to the Greyhounds' Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/moravianuniversitysaac/) and Athletics Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/moravianathletics/) accounts throughout the week.
