The annual passing of the legacy ceremony was held Aug. 16 in the Goppert Center. Seniors presented the class of 2022 and transfer students with a St. Teresa of Avila medal and prayer card. The prayer card included a message on the back welcoming the new students to the sisterhood.
Senior class president Lorna Green also gave a speech with advice to the freshmen class based on her past four years.
“I just thought about what I wanted to hear when I was a freshmen, and what would make me feel comfortable,” Green said. “I thought sharing a story of my failure and how I came to succeed would help a lot of freshmen realize that everyone fails at some point, and that you can definitely come back from failure.”
