Bridging Athletics with the entire Life U Community, with Tatiana Warman – Podcast

If you are familiar with the geography of the Life U campus, you might notice that it is somewhat split into two halves by our main street, Barclay Circle. Students heavily engaged in Athletics or Sport Health Science programs spend much of their time on the side nearest Rottenwood Creek, while most other academic endeavors of the University occur on the opposite side. Tatiana Warman, Director of Athletic Health, talks about how this artificial divide can be isolating and she hopes more ways can be found to help the whole campus feel more connected. She also discusses her career at Life U first as an athletic trainer, which has expanded into a larger administrative role that gives her the chance to make an even broader impact.
