Taking the field at an NFL stadium has always been a dream of Jermal Perkins, ’21. On Sunday, it became a reality.
Perkins was invited onto GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium to be the “First Pass” honoree as part of pregame festivities honoring City Year, a national nonprofit agency dedicated to providing support and resources to schools. Perkins is currently serving at Central Middle School as part of a City Year team sponsored by the Hunt Family Foundation.

Rockhurst asks students to challenge themselves, inspire others, and impact our world. For the University’s first Peace and International Studies (PAI) students, who walked with the Class of 2021 in May, they truly do aim to “impact our world.”
For the hitters on Rockhurst University’s Hawks softball team, a can ‘o corn is usually something to be avoided.
But recently, they couldn’t get enough of cans of corn, beans, and other nonperishables, as members of the team asked fans to contribute food items as the price of admission their game to benefit the St. Francis Xavier Parish food pantry.
U.S. News and World Report has ranked the undergraduate management program in the College of Business, Influence and Information Analysis as among the best such programs in the country, according to its 2022 Best Colleges rankings.
