Athletic Council

Athletic Council

Chair: Bradley Hatfield (bhatfiel@umd.edu)

Contact: Cody Gambler (cgambler@umd.edu)

The University Athletic Council exists to help the University develop and maintain the best possible intercollegiate athletic program consistent with the academic integrity of the institution and the academic and social development of student athletes. The Athletic Council is the primary body which advises the President on all matters relating to intercollegiate athletics. It does not execute policy, but serves to influence policy development, implementation, and administration. The Council, on behalf of the President, provides the necessary faculty input and participation in intercollegiate athletics as required by the Big Ten Conference, National Collegiate Athletic Association and the University of Maryland.  More information about the council can be found on the Terrapin Athletics website.

The Athletic Council membership includes seven faculty representatives and one staff representative that are elected by the Senate at its Annual Transition Meeting in early May. If you are interested in running for a position on the Athletic Council, please contact the Senate Office at senate-admin@umd.edu for more information.
