Athletic Director Bob McEvoy Serves as Facilitator With NCAA
McEvoy spent two years working with student-athletes at leadership conferences

FAYETTEVILLE, NC-  Methodist University Athletic Director Bob McEvoy recently completed two years of service as a facilitator for the NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Leadership Conferences.  McEvoy was selected as one of 20 facilitators to serve four conferences across the country in Dallas, Chicago, New York, and Pittsburgh.

More than 1,500 coaches and student-athletes attended a conference over the past two years.  Methodist University representatives attended the conference in Dallas.  According to the NCAA website, "the conferences are designed to encourage student-athletes to become confident change agents on their campuses and in their communities and to provide a forum for student-athletes, coaches, administrators and faculty to build partnerships, develop leadership skills, and discuss Division III issues that impact student-athletes."

McEvoy was able to work closely with other coaches and administrators in addition to the student-athletes.  "As a long-time coach, and now administrator, I was honored to be a part of the NCAA leadership program," said McEvoy.  "I was very impressed with the student-athletes' commitment to academic excellence and leadership in their community in an effort to bring about positive change on their campuses."
