HOWARD, NOYES AND SWAN REPRESENT ST. LAWRENCE

AT NCAA LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

Three St. Lawrence University athletic department representatives traveled out of the North Country to take part in the NCAA Division III Regional leadership conference, held at the Hilton hotel in Boston, MA. Head men’s and women’s track and field coach and Assistant Athletic Director Mike Howard, accompanied by Molly Swan ’10 (softball) and Isaac Noyes ’08 (Nordic skiing) were joined by hundreds of other student-athletes and coaches from 20-plus Division III institutions.

The weekend was packed with full-day sessions, all geared towards better understand what leadership is, how to become a better leader, and implementing strategy once returning to campus. Participants were first profiled into a personality type and leadership style, then were taught how to recognize other styles and how to better interact with them.

The representatives from St. Lawrence worked in athletic conference groups ( Liberty league + NESCAC) to develop leadership/event plans to help foster a better atmosphere with in their respective teams and to help generate support and activity within their athletic and student body communities. The weekend was capped off with a private, catered meal at the Boston Aquarium.
