ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

XU's Jones is a Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete again

December 9, 2010
NEW ORLEANS — Danielle Jones
changed sports this year at Xavier University of Louisiana,
but her status as a Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete did not change.
Jones — a senior from Baton Rouge, La.,
and a graduate of Episcopal High School — received that honor
for the second consecutive academic year. This time she earned it
for volleyball after playing basketball for the Gold Nuggets
the previous three seasons.
NAIA athletes qualify for this award
with minimums of junior academic status and a cumulative 3.5 grade-point average.
Jones, a senior biology-pre medical major who will complete her
XU academic requirements this month, has a 3.85 GPA.
And though her athletic career ended
last month when Xavier finished third in the Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference Tournament, her academic career is about to reach
|
high gear. Next for Jones is to select a destination
after being accepted into medical schools at Johns Hopkins, Emory and Tulane universities
for the fall of 2011.
Five GCAC volleyball players were among the 387
to be named a Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete this season. The other four
are Dillard's Roshawnda Buchanan, Danta Cobb, Zorana Piljevic and Cenquis Rockett.
