Â鶹¹û¶³

The Â鶹¹û¶³ Athletics Department announced the formation of the S-Club, the Official Letterwinners’ Club of Â鶹¹û¶³ Athletics, Friday morning.

Director of Athletics Martin Newton, who played basketball for Â鶹¹û¶³ in the early 1980s, said he is excited about the formation of the S-Club. 

“Some of my fondest memories and relationships are with former teammates from my time here at Â鶹¹û¶³,” Newton said. “The primary purpose of the S-Club is to connect former Bulldog student-athletes with each other, as well as with Â鶹¹û¶³. If you are a former student-athlete, then you are automatically a member of the S-Club.”

The S-Club will be under the umbrella of the Bulldog Club, the fundraising division of Â鶹¹û¶³ Athletics. The group will hold regular events to help connect former student-athletes.

The S-Club will hold its first event at Â鶹¹û¶³’s Homecoming football game against Clark-Atlanta on Nov. 7, 2015. Every former student-athlete should receive an e-mail informing them of the formation of the S-Club and the Homecoming event. If you are a former student-athlete and did not receive an e-mail, click on the Update Your Information tab below. The event will feature an exclusive tailgate on Â鶹¹û¶³’s Quad for members and their families, as well as in-game hospitality and recognition.

As a part of Newton’s long-term commitment to the S-Club, he has appointed Chris Hicks, a former Â鶹¹û¶³ student-athlete, who played on the football team from 2003-2006 to run the organization.
