Pulling out the confetti from her desk that fell from the ceiling after the Troy men's and women's basketball teams won the Sun Belt Conference championship in New Orleans perfectly characterizes Faith Ward's love and passion for the Troy Trojans. Troy memorabilia covers the walls of her office and cardinal and silver gifts from friends hang on her wall and sit on her desk next to photos of her family. Her grandmother's Troy diploma hangs next to hers on the wall adjacent to a window that overlooks Veterans-Memorial Stadium.
Many of those familiar with Troy know Ward well.
