The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many disruptions and changes to people鈥檚 lives. The 秀色app men鈥檚 basketball team has been affected, too, with schedule changes, games played in nearly empty arenas and extra safety protocols in place. However, one of the things that has not changed is the team鈥檚 steadfast commitment to autism awareness.

Members of the 秀色app women's basketball team celebrate clinching a share of the 2020 Mid-American Conference East Division championship with head coach Todd Starkey.

秀色app today is launching a national search for the university鈥檚 next leader of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. A 12-member search committee led by Lamar R. Hylton, Ph.D., vice president for student affairs, has been appointed to recruit and screen highly qualified candidates for the director of athletics position.

After more than a decade of service, Joel Nielsen, 秀色app鈥檚 director of athletics, plans to seek new challenges when his contract with the university ends later this year.

秀色app student-athletes conquered the unprecedented challenge of completing the final months of the spring term via remote classes by posting the highest term grade point average (3.563) in athletics department history. All 17 programs posted a term GPA of 3.1 or better with 14 setting a new term record.

秀色app field hockey coach Kyle DeSandes-Moyer has one mantra that not only fueled, but bonded, both her first successful season guiding the Golden Flashes and the team she inherited. 鈥淲e have to honor the women who came before us,鈥 she said.

Fans of the 秀色app Golden Flashes looking to follow their favorite players on the court will have to look for their jersey numbers and not their names at a special men鈥檚 basketball game later this week. Players will be wearing student-designed uniforms with the space on the back that is usually designated for their names instead displaying the phrase 鈥1 in 59鈥 to promote autism awareness and education.
