There is no doubt that throughout the four years our 2023 seniors have spent at SUA, they have managed to have a drastic impact on the lives of everyone here at the Academy. The examples set for the freshman, sophomores, and juniors is something we will never forget, and for many of these students, they would like to recognize certain seniors for the memories they created, leadership they displayed, and special characteristics others inspire to have.
