Behrend Student-Athletes Heading to NCAA Development Conference
Penn
State Behrend student-athletes Andy Iams and Harmilee Cousin III
have recently been selected to participate in the NCAA National
Student-Athlete Development Conference in Orlando, Florida.
The conference will be held May 24-27 at the Walt Disney Coronado
Spring Resort.
The development conference is held annually to provide NCAA member
institution student-athletes with a forum to openly discuss issues
that may affect them on their campuses and in their communities,
while providing student-athletes with the opportunity to enhance
their leadership, communication, decision-making, and
problem-solving skills. The goal is to promote better
communication among student-athletes, coaches, administrators,
faculty, and communities.
Iams
and Cousin will be two of a total of 601 attendees across NCAA
Divisions I, II, and III participating at the conference. Iams
is a junior engineering major on the cross country and track & field
teams. Cousin is a junior economics and finance major and a
member of the Behrend swim team.
Iams and Cousin were
nominated to attend the conference by Behrend Champs Program
Coordinator and Athletic Trainer Angela Meserole.
This is the thirteenth year of the NCAA National Student-Athlete
Development Conference. Since the first conference in 1997,
over 4,350 student-athletes have participated in this event.
