Jacks Get Involved

AXEperience

Purpose: Preserve and promote the spirit and traditions that make the Lumberjack experience unique.

AXEperience is a university-sponsored student organization whose members strive to be the leaders of Lumberjack spirit across campus. They support SFA Athletics at home and away games and work closely with the Office of Alumni Relations, Student Activities Association, Campus Recreation and SFA Athletics to plan Homecoming Week. This celebration features a concert, bonfire, downtown parade, 5K scholarship race, Homecoming court elections, and, of course, the football game and tailgating.

To learn more and join, contact the Involvement Center.
