    9. Discovery

    CSP was not necessarily looking to change the way we functioned CSP was interested in the examination of how athletics interacted with all areas of the campus

    10. Areas we were engaged

    Hiring of new coaches involved members of the SU community such as FAR, faculty, Student Life staff and administration Our coaches teach class Faculty status University committees AD spoke at University division meetings and emphasized how our department could help & dispelled some of the myths surrounding athletes as far as missed class time, etc. FY Move-in

    11. Where we werent Engaged

    There was no connection between the students as athletes and the faculty Our new staff was left on their own to engage with other faculty members We were really doing very little to market ourselves to our campus community

    12. What we are doing since attending the CSP Integration Institute

    DELIBERATELY-looking at ways to integrate Athletics/Student-athletes Faculty/Staff Administration

    15. Developed a Student Marketing Group

    These pre-game and half-time events are developed and run by our student marketing group. The aim is to entice not just students but faculty and staff as well as their families to our events. Activities include: - Give-a-ways Punch Cards Tailgating activities

    16. Student Marketing Group

    Faculty Zone a faculty member will be chosen one week prior to a game and they are encouraged to invite their class members and other students and faculty to join them at the game. They will be fed pizza and drinks while they enjoy the game.
