Senior RHP named to community service team for third consecutive season
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Baseball senior RHP Nolan Gromacki has been named to the SEC Community Service Team, announced Wednesday by the league office. Gromacki has been one of Mizzou Athletics' most-devoted student-athletes in the Mid-Missouri and campus community during his time with Mizzou Baseball, earning this distinction for the third consecutive season.
Gromacki has served as SAAC President and was tapped into Mizzou's prestigious QEBH secret society in 2017 (QEBH is the oldest of six secret honor societies at MU and members are selected based upon selfless dedication to the University, excellence in personal character and leadership achievements in the community) and followed that with another great year in the community in 2018.
He has spearheaded the "It's On Us Night" theme night at Taylor Stadium, partnering with campus to raise awareness and help prevent sexual violence on college campuses across the nation. It was the season's best-attended Friday night game last year and the theme night helped set Mizzou's midweek attendance record in 2018, a crowd largely made up of Mizzou's student-athlete community. His work with the campus student government and campus administration has helped push a bill through the Missouri House to expand curriculum in Missouri schools about consent through sexual education. His involvement with the organization was also recognized by the SEC as part of the "I Am the SEC" campaign.
It's On Us is a national organization that aims to change the culture when it comes to tolerance for sexual assault. Its principles are to recognize that non-consensual sex is sexual assault, to identify situations in which sexual assault may occur, to intervene in situations where consent has not or cannot be given, and to create an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.
