The St. Thomas campus community celebrates the talented and the tenacious, their ambitions and commitments to compete. There is no mistaking the breadth of the stage and there is no exaggerating the worth of the moments. Elite competitive achievement on the fields, the track, and in the academic arena.
It’s challenging Eagle scholar-athletes to develop and embrace the finest version of themselves. And ultimately become the most loving fathers and husbands, the most compassionate citizens, the most selfless leaders, and the most devout spiritual models, all representing the best that St. Thomas may offer.
Circles of influence. Equipped with tools for life.
All 11 Eagles navigated less than certain paths, conquering odds and obstacles without allowing frustrations, ill-timed circumstances, and self-doubt to douse their determination or deter them from fateful destinies.

Eagle Fight Never Dies!
