What does that entail?
I must ensure that all Condor student-athletes are provided maximum opportunity and support for achieving their academic goals. In addition, I provide the best possible environment for each student-athlete to compete to the fullest extent of his or her capability; establish support systems enabling student-athletes to become well-rounded, mature, and responsible citizens; and encourage student-athletes to assume leadership roles both on campus and in the community.

12 years
Were you a student at one of the District’s colleges and if so which one? What was your major and your degree?

I’m from San Luis Obispo.
