SUMMARY:Restoring College Sports Amid COVID-19: Leveraging Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:As college sports programs plan their recovery from Covid-19 impacts\, leveraging existing campus assets and fan preferences opens up sports sustainability operations that generate revenues\, cost savings\, and significant campus/community support for moving the ball on climate action. As many professional and global sports organizations have learned\, taking action to mitigate climate change helps deliver many of these benefits. \nThis webinar will feature several high profile collegiate athletic directors who have created sustainability assets in their athletics programs with the help of campus sustainability staff. With those assets\, they have won support from corporate partners\, improved student and fan relations\, better aligned with their own campus’ sustainability goals\, and enhanced campus sustainability leadership on and off the field. \nAthletics department staff and campus sustainability professionals will both benefit from this webinar\, as they look to regain traction on their internal goals amid the current health crisis. Both will benefit from new corporate partnerships based on sustainability. Both have allied interests in promoting stronger student and fan engagement. And both are integral parts of campus sustainability and climate action goals that more strongly unite athletics with every facet of campus life. \nGlobally\, over 120 sports organizations such as the International Olympic Committee\, the NY Yankees\, the NY Mets\, the Golden State Warriors and the NBA have committed to the UN’s Sports for Climate Action Framework. \nIn the US\, the University of Colorado Boulder was the first US collegiate sports program to sign on. Now\, even amid the Covid pandemic\, The Ohio State University\, Wake Forest University and the University of Miami are committing because this work is too important to forget. In this webinar you can find out how this approach can help your campus do well–by doing good! \nRegister Today \nPresenters\n\n\n\n\nRick George\, Athletic Director\, University of Colorado Buffaloes \n \nRick George was named athletic director at the University of Colorado on July 17\, 2013\, returning to Boulder where he helped play a role in the school’s first and only national championship in football some 23 years earlier. \nGeorge\, came to Colorado from the Texas Rangers baseball club of the American League\, where he was named chief operating officer on October 5\, 2010 with a promotion to president of business operations in February 2013.  He agreed to a 5-year contract at CU\, and he officially started on the job on August 12\, 2013.  In June 2016\, the Board of Regents approved a contract extension through 2020-21\, and in June 2019\, the Regents once again extended him through the 2023-24 academic and athletic year. \nRead Rick George’s full bio.\n\n\n\nGene Smith\, Senior Vice President and Wolfe Foundation Endowed Athletics Director\, The Ohio State University Buckeyes \n \nOhio State’s student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom and on the fields of play under the leadership of Gene Smith\, who directs the nation’s largest and one of its elite athletic programs. Smith is proud of the high-performance culture that has developed with the leadership of what he often refers to as “the best coaching staff in America.” Record achievements by individuals\, teams and the entire athletic program attest to Ohio State’s commitment to the development of the total student-athlete in a holistic way. \n\n\n\nAs the institution’s academic profile has increased\, so too has the academic profile of its student-athletes.
