BOULDER -- Theresa D. Hernández has been named the first director of the University of Colorado Boulder Athletics' Crawford Family WHOLE Student-Athlete Program.
The program has quickly become a nationally recognized initiative that prepares student-athletes for life success by comprehensively focusing on their physical, psychological, academic and career health. Hernández comes to the athletic department from just across campus, as he has served as the associate deal for research for the College of Arts and Sciences since 2016.
An expert in the study of traumatic brain injury (TBI), Hernández has implemented basic and clinical neuroscience methods that optimize recovery from TBI in veterans, civilians and athletes by reducing the effects of stress and promoting psychological health.
