Beginning to fulfill its strategic vision, Kent State athletics has added a position to its staff to increase resources for its student-athletes.
Katie Schilling, who served in Kent State's compliance office for nearly seven years, recently took on the role of assistant director for student-athlete development. Schilling now oversees all student-athlete development initiatives including community outreach, career services, mental health awareness, financial literacy and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
"Our Game Plan goal of putting 'students first' involves providing a number of resources that develop the whole person," Associate Athletic Director Greg Glaus said.
