UNR receives recognition
Wednesday, April 28, 1999 | 5:35 a.m.
The National Consortium for Academics and Sports based in Orlando, Fla., recently honored UNR's program as a model for more than 100 colleges and universities that utilize the consortium's services.
Member schools invite former scholarship student-athletes back to campus in order to complete degree requirements. In exchange, the former student-athletes participate in community service and youth outreach.
Richard Lapchick, director of Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society, helped found the consortium in Boston in 1985.
