Honing Athletic Skills, Academics at Community Colleges

by CORAL M. NOONAN-TERRY AND RICHARD M. SANCHEZ , May 28, 2009

Categories:

Although you may not have the next Nolan Ryan, the famed Major League Baseball pitcher who is now president of the Texas Rangers and a graduate of Alvin Community College (Texas); Ben Wallace, the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball star who graduated from Cuyahoga Community College (Ohio); or any others on the long list of famous community college alumni, advocating for an athletics program at your community college may foster increased enrollment and retention rates. It may also create new opportunities for your constituents, heighten community involvement and build a sense of pride and commitment in supporting the college in its quest for excellence.

— Dr. Coral Noonan-Terry is associate director of the National Institute for Staff & Organizational Development at The University of Texas at Austin; and Dr. Richard M. Sanchez is the district president of Navarro College (Texas). The forum is sponsored in partnership with NISOD.
