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)

Former Xavier employee becomes Savannah State's AD
|
Sterling Steward Jr.

October 3, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — Savannah State University announced Friday
the hiring of Sterling Steward Jr. as director of intercollegiate athletics.
Steward is a native of New Orleans and a former Xavier University of Louisiana employee.
Steward, 40, worked at Xavier from 1999-2004 — first as
director of campus recreational sports, then as assistant athletics director.
He also worked in the athletics departments at Mississippi Valley State, Alabama
State, Kentucky State and Eastern Oregon.
"Xavier was my first professional job with major
athletics responsibilities," Steward said. "Xavier gave me a solid foundation
on how to operate a successful athletics program without winning at all costs
yet still graduate a high percentage of student-athletes. I am thoroughly
thankful to have had that opportunity to serve at Xavier."

Steward is a 1988 graduate of St. Augustine High School
and received degrees from Southern Mississippi in 1993 and 1996. His wife, the former
Rachael Thompson, is a 2001 Xavier graduate.
Steward is not the first with connections to Xavier and Savannah State. Theodore "Ted" Wright
coached basketball, football and track at Xavier in the 1930s and '40s and later did the
same at Savannah State, which named its football/track stadium after him.
Savannah State, an NCAA Division I member in Savannah, Ga., became
a full member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference on Sept. 1 after 14 months of provisional membership.
