I’m extremely proud of our growing athletic programs and the success of this team. With last year’s trip to the national championship, we’ve established ourselves as a top contender. In addition to pride in winning, athletics at Davenport enriches the stu- dent experience – for our athletes as well as for student spectators. In that regard, we’re excited about our new student center and field house, which will further enhance our athletics and student life programs when it opens next fall at the W.A.

At 7:33 p.m., the fi- nal alert was sent to let students know that the shelter was lifted and that there was no immediate threat to campus. Many students have had questions re- garding why it took almost four hours be- tween the time the original photo was posted and when the alert was sent to stu- dents.
