| Carlow University's Athletic Director Receives National Award |
| |
George Sliman named NAIA Northeast Region Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year
Pittsburgh, Pa. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) has named George Sliman, the athletic director at Carlow University, as its 2011-2012 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Northeast Region Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year Award recipient.
Sliman was appointed as athletic director at Carlow University in June 1999. Prior to that, he served as Carlow's part-time volleyball coach while working for the Urban Redevelopment Authority of the City of Pittsburgh. In his time as athletic director, Sliman has raised standards and implemented changes that have brought the athletics program a level of distinction. He revitalized the Student-Athlete Association and implemented "Champions of Character" training for all coaches and student-athletes. Sliman has kept student-athlete academic achievement a high priority throughout his tenure.
Sliman received this honor today at the NACDA and Affiliates Convention Week in Dallas, Texas. The Athletic Director of the Year Award winners will be honored at the James J. Corbett Awards Luncheon.
Additionally, there will be a special feature in the June issue of Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal highlighting all of the recipients of the 2011-2012 Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year Award.
