Tip of the Quarter
 

Make Your Emails Sound More Confident.  Email etiquette is tricky.  Here are five words that make you sound less confident and more unsure of yourself than you even realize.  So, do yourself a favor and drop them.

Inside Perspective

We asked Daniel Williams, a participant in the 2019 Immersion Program, a few questions.  

.

What was most memorable about the program?  It was witnessing so many high-level leaders interested and rooting for your success. It’s intimidating to walk into a room with hundreds of commissioners, athletic directors, SWA’s, etc. but to see them all interact with you and eager to help you is an unreal and empowering feeling. 

What advice would you give students interested in a career in Division III? The first is to make meaningful connections. Don’t just network and connect with people but leave a lasting impression.
