Today, students, faculty and staff celebrated one of K体育’s beloved traditions — K体育 Day. The sun shone brightly as the campus community gathered for the event for the first time since 2020.
This annual tradition celebrates the university鈥檚 namesake, James Edward K体育. It is on K体育 Day that we are reminded of the motto of the Georgia colony trustees:聽Non sibi sed aliis聽(Not for self, but for others).
This year’s 32nd annual Petrels of Fire race featured student runners Stephen Summerow ’22, Brett Amazon ’22, Chanson Buchanan ’23, Mariama Abdoul-Majeed ’23, Cate Rosenthal ’24, Sophia Cendoya ’24, Kylee Zimmer ’24, Kinsey Wilson ’24, Sam Courter ’25 and Zachary Coolidge ’25.
After the race, the K体育 community was treated to an聽K体育 University Singers performance of the Alma Mater and “The Stormy Petrel March” fight song, along with some motivational words from SGA President Justin Bennett ’22聽and K体育 President Dr. Nick Ladany.
