This initiative, started in 2006, has been a collaborative effort by the NACC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) to make a positive impact in each institution's respective community. SAAC coordinates this annual canned food drive, turning it into a community service competition among the 13 institutions in the conference. Each campus's SAAC collects cans and other non-perishable items to support a local charity.]]></description><media:thumbnail url="https://athletics.aurora.edu/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_system&amp;image_path=/images/2025/11/25/251124_SK_Athletic_cans_sz-2.jpg" /><media:content url="https://athletics.aurora.edu/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2025/11/25/251124_SK_Athletic_cans_sz-2.jpg"><media:title /></media:content><enclosure url="https://athletics.aurora.edu/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2025/11/25/251124_SK_Athletic_cans_sz-2.jpg" length="1" type="image/jpg" /><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2025 14:48:00 CST</pubDate><s:sport_id>5</s:sport_id><s:story_id>9868</s:story_id></item><item><title>Spartan cheer and dance tryout date set</title><link>https://athletics.aurora.edu/news/2022/3/25/cheerleading-spartan-cheer-and-dance-tryout-date-set.aspx</link><guid>https://athletics.aurora.edu/news/2022/3/25/cheerleading-spartan-cheer-and-dance-tryout-date-set.aspx</guid><category>Cheer and Dance, Dance Team</category><description><![CDATA[<img alt="Cheer and dance" src="https://athletics.aurora.edu/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&image_path=/images/2022/3/25/210925_SK_Football_12.jpg" /><br /><br />The Aurora University Spartan cheer and dance team will have try-outs for the 2022-2023 year on Friday, April 29.]]></description><media:thumbnail url="https://athletics.aurora.edu/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_system&amp;image_path=/images/2022/3/25/210925_SK_Football_12.jpg" /><media:content url="https://athletics.aurora.edu/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2022/3/25/210925_SK_Football_12.jpg"><media:title>Cheer and dance</media:title></media:content><enclosure url="https://athletics.aurora.edu/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2022/3/25/210925_SK_Football_12.jpg" length="1" type="image/jpg" /><pubDate>Fri, 25 Mar 2022 12:50:00 CST</pubDate><s:sport_id>2</s:sport_id><s:story_id>6631</s:story_id></item><item><title>AU announces Athletic Department postseason awards</title><link>https://athletics.aurora.edu/news/2012/6/20/BB_0620121332.aspx</link><guid>https://athletics.aurora.edu/news/2012/6/20/BB_0620121332.aspx</guid><category>Baseball, Cheer and Dance, Dance Team, Football, General, Men's Basketball, Men's Cross Country, Men's Soccer, Men's Tennis, Men's Track and Field, Softball, Women's Basketball, Women's Cross Country, Women's Golf, Women's Soccer, Women's Tennis, Women's Track and Field, Women's Volleyball, Men's Golf, Men's Lacrosse, Women's Lacrosse</category><description><![CDATA[<img alt="Mackey-Wilcox Athlete of Year" src="https://athletics.aurora.edu/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&image_path=/images/2012/6/20/Mackey-Wilcox.jpg" /><br /><br />The Aurora University Athletic Department announced its 2011-2012 male and female Athletes of the Year.
