When Michael Hill was called on to head UTA Athletics’ Diversity and Inclusion Committee, his first plan of action was to get student-athletes, coaches and staff registered to vote in the 2020 general election.
Hill, assistant athletic director for communications, launched the Mav Up and Vote campaign with the intention of educating people within the department about where each candidate stands on certain issues.
Earlier this month, the department’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee announced that all players from the men’s and women’s basketball teams, men’s and women’s cross-country teams, men’s and women’s golf teams and volleyball team were registered to vote.
