For Immediate Release

Fort Wayne, Ind. – As part of the new Warrior Pride program, each month the athletic department will name one male and one female athlete the Warrior of the Month.  Athletes can earn recognition for their hard work on the field, excellence in the classroom, or being active in their community.
