Series to Spotlight Emerging Leaders from Empire 8 Member Institutions
The Empire 8 Conference is proud to announce the creation of its “Tomorrow’s Leaders Compete Here” Series, which will kick off on Oct. 3. Each week, the conference will spotlight a student-athlete from one of its member institutions who has emerged as a leader not only on the field of play, but in the classroom and in the community.
“Developing character and integrity is a hallmark of the Empire 8,” said E8 Commissioner
Chuck Mitrano. “This series is proof that Empire 8 and our member institutions are committed to intercollegiate athletics’ important role in higher education.”
Each Thursday, beginning on Oct. 3 and running through early April, one student-athlete will be featured and celebrated as part of the E8's Tomorrow’s Leaders Compete Here Series. The individual will be an upperclassmen who has emerged as a leader not only on his or her team, but excels in the classroom, and shows a great knack for community service. In total, 24 individuals representing each of the conference's members will be profiled.
"The student-athletes of the Empire 8 continue to impress on the field and show an innate knack of leadership qualities in everyday life,” said E8 Associate Commissioner
Joe Venniro. “This is a great platform to show what type of student-athletes and more importantly, future leaders of society our member institutions continue to mold.”
The Tomorrow’s Leaders Compete Here Series will be featured on the conference's website and social media platforms over the next six months as we celebrate one individual per week. The conference will also be using the #tomorrowsleaderscompetehere hashtag on its Twitter and Instagram platforms as a way for fans to follow along with the series.
