The journey begins
Jared Trudel, left, an admissions counselor at SWU, presented to CJ Alexander of Pendleton a shirt emblazoned with the hashtag #swuserves during a “Passing the Mantle” ceremony in which students celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in life and embark on a new spiritual and academic journey.
During the Aug. 17 ceremony, new students joined with family members, university faculty and staff for a time of prayer and encouragement.
