Unto our campus hasten

Truly your belt fasten

Let’s the game academic

Aspire to make endemic

As you into our pool

Plunge and bestride cool

You’ll suffer no weakening

But gain true re-awakening

In our loud tones diverse

Let’s duly claim each verse

As all with courage extra

Chant our motto “Ad Astra”
