Pilot Integration

Pilot Integration Institute

The Pilot Integration Institute was held June 22-23 at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. This inaugural program brought together representatives from 10 institutions nationwide for two days of presentations and conversations focusing on a Division III sports model that celebrates athletics as an integral aspect of the educational mission. The participants included presidents, academic and athletic administrators, faculty, and coaches. The Chronicle of Higher Education covered the institute and the story is available here.
