Cleveland, Ohio -- In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mid-American Conference (MAC) will provide an educational enhancement opportunity for its student-athletes. The Transformative Leadership Badge Program has been created at the recommendation from Miami University President Dr. Greg Crawford and with the unanimous endorsement of the MAC Council of Presidents. The inaugural program will be held July 13-17 and will focus on holistic human development.
A total of 20 professors across multiple institutions have volunteered to teach each course and will provide this opportunity to 316 registered student-athletes from throughout the conference. This week-long opportunity will empower student-athletes to identify their own strengths & weaknesses, grow in personal leadership capacities and will establish habits of thought and action that will position themselves for success in any environment.
