CORVALLIS –Alexis Serna, a former standout football student-athlete at Oregon State, has joined the school's athletic staff as the Director of Beyond Football. The announcement was made Thursday by Beaver Head Football Coach Jonathan Smith.
Serna oversees the strategic vision and implementation of the Beyond Football program, an initiative that aims to transition student-athletes into their professional careers after their playing days are over. Thanks to a generous gift from an OSU alumnus, the Beyond Football program connects student-athletes with internship opportunities and employers as well as preparing them for various graduate programs.
"Alexis competed on the biggest stages of college football, played professionally, and has transitioned into a business career after football," Smith said.
