Koral Riggs will be the Commencement Speaker for Fall 2019. Riggs is a South Texas native and a graduate of Schreiner University in May 2018. Riggs played collegiate softball and graduated with a degree in Communications and a minor in Sport Communication and Sport Management.

After her four years at Schreiner, she was able to dive into her career as soon as the Monday after graduation as an intern with Sports2Nite, a TV show based out of San Antonio, which airs every single day, 3 times a day. Riggs is currently employed as a Sports Reporter and Anchor for Sports2Nite. At just 22 years old, Riggs has been able to cover the teams she grew up dreaming to cover like the Spurs, Astros, Cowboys and the Texans. She has also covered events like the NCAA Final Four and the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

When Riggs isn’t working a sporting event, she normally still finds her way to some sort of field or court, but when she does break away, she stays busy volunteering across the city and taking part in community runs or fitness events throughout San Antonio.
