San Francisco promotes Deputy AD/SWA McDermott to lead the Dons athletic department. Prez Fitzgerald: "Joan's commitment to the entirety of the student-athlete experience at USF, as well as to the development of a winning athletic program that values academic performance, personal excellence, and a culture of integrity, are a beautiful expression of the mission and values of USF. With her extensive professional experience in collegiate athletics and her deep understanding of USF -- as an alumna, as a leader within the Athletic Department and with campus-wide initiatives for the past three years -- Joan will continue to build on the strong foundation that Scott Sidwell has put in place. She has a strong commitment to the academic success of our student athletes, and I am impressed by her strategic thinking, and her demonstrated skill in engaging faculty, staff, students and the greater San Francisco community in USF Athletics. I am delighted to welcome her to this new role." More in D1.ticker tomorrow morning. (link)
