Collins Selected To Participate In NCAA Division II Mentoring Progam
INDIANAPOLIS (April 18, 2012) – C.W. Post Director of Athletics
Bryan Collins has been selected by the NCAA Division II Athletics Directors Association to serve as a mentor in its Division II mentoring program.
“I was first approached by Shantey Hill, our Senior Associate AD, who participated in this as a mentee,” remarks Collins. “Shantey felt that someone would benefit from my participation as a mentor. If I may assist someone in navigating through athletic administration and reaching their ultimate goal of becoming a Director of Athletics then I would fulfill a personal goal of giving back. I also am looking forward to building new relationships and to learn as much as I can from this experience so I may better myself and hopefully LIU Post.”
The program matches promising women and minority administrators who hope to become athletics directors with proven athletics directors. The first class kicked off their experience July 15 in Indianapolis and will conclude this summer.
The 2012-13 class is made up of eight women and two men.
