The class of ’25 gathered to continue the tradition of starting its time on campus with a candlelight devotional on Tuesday evening. The event returned to Beauchamp Amphitheater after being relocated to Wildcat Stadium in 2020. Students, faculty, parents and alumni joined in song to bless the incoming freshman class as they participated in this long-standing tradition.
