Nate Parsley, 2-18-24
Each year we've tried to find a unified theme that both our men's and women's programs can relate to. This year's theme is "Vengeance" - not in a negative sense, but in the sense that we're back with a vengeance. We've had a rapid uprising, led by the revolution, and this year we're back for more.
