Investing in the student-athlete experience.
It’s a nebulous phrase that many of us who work in intercollegiate athletics use on a near daily basis. We talk about this investment when soliciting the support of donors or when outlining a vision for coaches or campus partners. But what does it mean to invest in the student-athlete experience?
One obvious way is by providing them the tools and facilities necessary to compete at an elite level. Since my arrival in July, I have worked with our development staff and leaders across campus to move aggressively on the Kelly/Shorts facility project.
