Next up is Haley from Durant, Oklahoma. She’s an Exercise and Sports Science junior with a minor in Early Intervention. Haley is a D-I athlete and is pretty competitive in the classroom, too. About one in nine TU students is a collegiate athlete and the teams are regularly top their conference in GPA. Pitch to you, Haley.

– Thanks for the intro, Alex. Hey everybody. I’ve been coming to the University of Tulsa campus ever since my eighth grade year and I committed to play softball here my sophomore year of high school. As an Oklahoma girl, attending TU meant staying close to home while also pursuing the highest level of athletics and academics. The close-knit support surrounding this University is like no other. In any football, soccer, basketball, or softball game, you know there will always be a crowd. Students get into all sporting events for free just by showing their student ID. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. The school spirit is contagious and it has shaped my college experience in the best way. Turn on a Tulsa football game and you’ll see me sitting front row, probably shouting out our famous “Reign ‘Cane”. As a student athlete, TU provides resources to help us reach our full potential. We have amazing strength coaches in the weight room, athletic trainers in the training room, and our advisors in the academic center, Case. TU also prepares students to connect with sports through student manager opportunities, with different internships in various areas of the sports world. The University of Tulsa has provided even more opportunities to get involved in my sport, like the organization’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. If you were ask me my favorite part, it would be the memories, friendships, and experiences that’ll last a lifetime. That’s all for me, everybody. Throwing it back to you, Alex. And as always, Reign ‘Cane.

– You hit that one out of the park, Haley. TU student athletes build character on and off the field and they share their excitement and enthusiasm with their friends and classmates. TU tops it off with free admission to all sporting events for all students. Thanks to the tip, Haley. Take care.
