Chris King '94 that highlights what you'll find in the annual report.
Dear Colonial Nation,
This past June marked one full year since my first day as the Director of Athletics at my alma mater. We are proud of our department's progress and the solid foundation we are laying for the growth of RMU athletics throughout the region. From my first day on campus, we have spearheaded an array of initiatives to improve the experiences of our student-athletes and work toward the identified goal of RMU athletics becoming the most visible marketing tool and front porch for the university. Throughout every accomplishment and initiative, we continue to recognize the importance of the student-athlete and the responsibilities and significance that RMU athletics holds for the university and the community. Our President, university administration, departmental staff and coaches and our student-athletes have driven the progress as we head into the 2020-21 academic year.
My first year back at Robert Morris was a period of evaluation and assessment for our coaches and staff, as we analyzed new strategies to improve our department. The 2019-20 academic year gave us the opportunity to launch many new initiatives and establish a solid foundation for RMU athletics that opens the door for great success in the future. I'm very grateful to our staff members, who have bought into the concept of our new vision and direction.
I hope you share my pride in the accomplishments of RMU athletics over the past year. As we move into the 2020-21 academic year, I am more excited than ever to be the Director of Athletics at RMU! We have experienced a challenging year with the current pandemic, but have continued to identify areas for improvement and made tremendous progress at establishing much needed advancements. Together, we have laid a solid foundation and developed a strong strategic road map to guide us toward a bright future.
I hope the achievements of the past year inspires you to join our Colonial family and assist our student-athletes, coaches and staff in together building the premier NCAA Division I athletic program that shines brilliantly on our campus, throughout the Pittsburgh region and beyond.
On behalf of all of our student-athletes, coaches and staff, we thank you for your continued belief and support in our mission and direction.
Chris King
