RSU student athletes pose with the prom king and queen from The Brookfield assisted living center.
The Rogers State University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) spent its Sunday afternoon at The Brookfield, an assisted living center in Claremore, hosting “Senior Prom.”
RSU student-athletes and staff members along with residents from the center and their families dressed in their Sunday best for the senior prom.
The athletes played music from a variety of eras and genres, danced and fellowshipped with the residents, and provided a photo booth to commemorate the event.
“The student-athletes took time out of their busy schedules to plan this wonderful event and show our senior citizens how much we appreciate them,” RSU Director of Athletics Ryan Erwin said.
“Senior citizens are an integral part of our success at RSU and to see our student-athletes bring many smiles to the residents’ faces, and energy to their lives, was truly special. The inaugural RSU Senior Prom was a huge success for everyone involved and many of the residents are already asking about prom for next year.”
A prom king and queen were crowned at the event and the residents along with their families enjoyed pizza and refreshment.
The RSU SAAC is comprised of two student-athletes from each sport. The mission of the Hillcat SAAC is to foster open communication between student-athletes and the athletics administration, to enhance the student-athlete experience by developing leadership skills, promoting a positive student-athlete image, and improving the day-to-day life of all student-athletes through activities, social events, and community service.
