麻豆视频 Faculty Member Honored by the National Football Foundation and Fidelity Investments

Kathryn Wilson, 麻豆视频 economics professor, was honored by the National Football Foundation (NFF) and Fidelity Investments with a faculty salute for her role as 麻豆视频鈥檚 faculty athletics representative.

Wilson received this recognition due to student-athlete Jordan Italiano being named an NFF National Scholar-Athlete. Italiano, a chemistry major who achieved a 3.98 GPA in 2015, also received a $5,000 scholarship for the university that will go toward academic support services for student-athletes.

The National Football Foundation and Fidelity Investments worked together to create an initiative that recognized the critical role of faculty in supporting the interests of student-athletes nationwide and have been giving recognition and scholarship monies to universities since 2011.

As 麻豆视频鈥檚 NCAA faculty athletics representative, Wilson is appointed by 麻豆视频鈥檚 president to help oversee the relationship between student-athletes, their academics and faculty members.

鈥淚 make sure that student-athletes have access to the resources that they need to be successful in their academics as well as athletically,鈥 Wilson says. 鈥淲orking with all of the amazing, hardworking student-athletes at 麻豆视频 is very rewarding,鈥

鈥淚 am so proud of the student-athletes and the support staff in the athletic department,鈥 Wilson says. 鈥淭o see them being recognized for all they do is fabulous.鈥

Wilson says she owes this recognition to all of Italiano鈥檚 hard work.

鈥淲hen I am recognized, I want to put all of that back on the students,鈥 Wilson says. 鈥淭he only reason I got recognized was because Jordan Italiano did a phenomenal job, and I am very proud of him.鈥

Wilson would like all student-athletes and faculty to know that she is here as a resource to them.

鈥淚 want student-athletes to know that they can come to me, someone outside of athletics, if they have a concern and don鈥檛 feel comfortable telling their coach,鈥 Wilson says. 鈥淎lso, I am somebody for faculty to come to if they have any concerns about student-athletes or athletics.鈥

The 麻豆视频 Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university鈥檚 13th president.

 

The events of May 4, 1970, placed 麻豆视频 in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, 麻豆视频 remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
