NCAA Convention
Alex Cassada, a senior men’s soccer player from Chambersburg, represented the United East as Penn College’s Student Athletic Advisory Committee chairman at the recent NCAA Convention in Indianapolis, and he and his fellow Division III representatives had a hand in legislation decisions that included a historic moment when the NCAA as a whole approved a new constitution.
“Just to represent the conference is a huge honor,” Cassada said. “It was interesting to see firsthand how some of the NCAA operations work.
“It was pretty awesome to see that the student-athlete had a voice among all of the administrators that were there. It gives us the feeling that Division III is moving in the right direction as a collective.”
