"This is a tremendous honor for Sachin to cap his career at Mercer," head men's tennis coach Eric Hayes said. "On and off the court he has been such a role model with his tireless work ethic. He is a perfect example of what a student-athlete should be. I am proud of him."

He was heavily involved in business organizations, including the Student-Managed Investment Fund, Financial Management Association, the Bear Market Newsletter and Beta Alpha Psi Finance Society.

Khurana will be awarded the Louie D. Newton General Excellence Medal during the 9:00 ceremony in the presence of the graduates and faculty of the Stetson-Hatcher School of Business. This award is presented to the graduating student who best exemplifies scholastic achievement, personal integrity and character, service to the campus community and commitment to spiritual values.
