"Our Student-Athlete Success Program is a part of a larger success program offered here at COS that is focused on academic success of our students." said Athletic Director Brent Davis. "Our athletic department is fortunate that the college supports us the way they do academically with a Student-Athlete Success Coordinator. I am excited for our student-athletes getting to work with Coach Wright."

My job is to help them navigate those issue and help them move forward with their education."
