- Serve on search committees for new hires in athletics;
- Review the role of existing sports and discuss strategic possibilities for expansion;
- Provide advice to the Provost and Vice President on student-athlete welfare related issues;
- Monitor adherence to the mission and purpose of the College.

NCAA
Division III member institutions are required to conduct a
comprehensive self-study and evaluation of their intercollegiate
athletics programs at least once every five years, using the
Institutional Self-Study Guide (ISSG). The report of the self-study, as
well as the supporting documentation, is required to be available for
examination upon request by an authorized representative of the NCAA.
This is a major task of the AMC in 2016-17 and you will hear more prior
to our May 2017 submission.
Thank you to Joanne, Andrea, Susan,
Larry and Michelle for their service on the Athletics Management
Council. Please feel free to offer them any thoughts you may have on
athletics management at Virginia Wesleyan College.
