Function Within the Educational Environment

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.
