Alexis Vera, University of Dallas, Women's Basketball - Character & Community

ALEXIS VERA OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS, a junior student manager on the women's basketball team from San Antonio, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Character & Community Female Student-Athlete of the Week for the week beginning March 29.

The SCAC Character & Community award honors the efforts of student-athletes who excel in the field of athletics, and also serve their campus and community.



Vera is the first Student-Athlete Senator in Student Government, a position that previous SCAC Character & Community Female Student-Athlete of the Week Liz Winkler worked to create in 2019-20. Vera has also been a three-year SAAC Representative for SCAC for the women’s basketball program, which she was the Student Manager the last two years after playing one season as a guard. 

Vera is also a Member of Crusader Outreach: a committee on campus that plans and assists events for the whole school body. She serves on Student Government as a Pro-Temp: Assistant to the whole Executive Council of Student Government. 

Vera is also involved with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and is a member of Student Leaders for Racial Solidarity, which is a club on campus that I supported as a senator to have been approved whose goal is to promote equality among all regardless of race or ethnicity.

“Alexis Vera is extremely important to our program,” Second-year head coach Bri Calver stated. “She is an extension of the coaching staff for the girls. The leadership she portrays is substantial. Alexis is always the first one to lend that hand out for the team.” 

Vera brings that passion and energy whenever she is around and has been a positive influence for others. The organizations and roles she is part of are all in developing stages, so she is setting a foundation for future leaders on the UD campus. Her influence with the women’s basketball program, which was led by the 2020-21 SCAC Head Coach of the Year, also had an impact with her enthusiasm with teammates and assistance with the coaching staff at most games at home and on the road.
