He is a familiar face seen around school because he was a history teacher in the IB program and the activities director of Plymouth.

    In conclusion the interview coach Ruhanen we learned that intercollegiate athletic departments are more than what they appear to be on television. They are composed of many departments that aspire to contribute to the successful image of the team on an off the field. That it takes an entire department to raise a champion. Looking at specifically at the Athletic Performance for the Olympic sports division of our strength and conditioning program here at the University of Memphis we have learned that although a smaller departmental unit of the athletic department they play a crucial role in reaching helping teams reach their goals of a championship.

    Thiel College currently has the highest minority population in Western Pennsylvania, at 9%. They also have the highest international population at 5%. A reason for that is that most other schools lump their international population into the minority population so that their minority population looks higher than actually is. Diverse interests are provided to the Thiel College Students by the Thiel World Organization. The ways that Thiel College tries to fulfill its commitment to diversity is to offer a Soul Food Festival provided by Thiel World Organization. Dining halls provide a soul food and vegan section. The Thiel College athletic department also offers a Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC); two athletes from each team make up the committee that meets to discuss…

    An athletic administrator there are many student-athlete issues that will arise that athletic directors will need to be prepared for. The first issues I think that an athletic director would need to prepare to face are issues regarding the code of conduct. In conjunction with the school’s code of conduct, the athletics department code of conduct should be familiarized by all student-athletes and parents. All student-athletes should be accountable for his/her actions and should be enforced by the school principal and the athletic director. An athletics orientation will be held before the start of each academic school year stressing the importance of the school and athletics code of conduct. Athletic orientation should include the student-athlete and parents that will cover expectations, rules, regulations, and eligibility requirements, which lead me to my next issue that athletic directors may face.…

    Title IX was the stepping-stone for mergers and sports, but immediately after the merging took place, women were fully discriminated against. When men and women's sports combined, it opened new administrative positions for women, but what these women found were that they were constantly being pushed down to the bottom of the pile, to the least authoritative positions. Men were the head coaches, and the head of the physical education departments Men organized the teams schedule for the season and organized practice hours. Also, "male sexist attitudes ensured that male rather than female athletic directors and heads of physical education departments were almost automatically appointed to direct merged departments" (Hult p.96) This male over female preference continued right up to today. As of 1992 there are more men in administrative sports positions than women.…

As a result, I decided to conduct my interview with a professional that is associated with the business operations of athletics. The person that I interviewed was Dawn Reynolds, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Business and Finance here at the University of Miami. After initially getting in contact with Ms. Reynolds a few weeks ago, I was finally able to meet with her briefly and conduct my interview on November 30, 2010, in room 261 in the Hecht Athletics Center. Just to give a bit of background information about Ms. Reynolds, she is from Elmira, New York and now currently resides in Coral Gables, Florida. She graduated from the University of Miami with a major in Finance and started her career at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia where she worked for four years as their budget coordinator.
