Assumes a leadership role in various levels of institutional governance
UVU is a Division I Athletic Team. We applied for NCAA Certification
May 2007. This was a major undertaking. UVU had to start from mere beginnings
and in some cases, “from nothing”. I was named Chair Sub Committee Student-Athlete Well Being.
This was a particularly tedious project for me because I didn't
know very much at all about athletics and less about the workings of UVU and NCAA. Also, my committee members
were often traveling with the teams. I had hours of research to do and tons of meetings
to attend.
As a result of my being named Chair of Sub Committee Student-Athlete Well Being, I discovered the lack
of emergency equipment on the athletic fields to protect the health and well-being of the student athletes. I
wrote a grant for 4 AED's to be purchased and placed on the athletic field.
UVU successfully cleared
the accrediting process February 2008 and we are now an NCAA institution.

Networking, developing connections
This is a letter verifying
the company, Sigma, is donating an IV pump to our school resultant of a plea from me. This
is the first of three pieces of equipment donated to UVU as a result of my request. KCI donated just recently
two air mattresses and some practice wounds resultant of a plea for equipment from me.
