Division III campuses and conferences cultivate environments that allow student-athletes to pursue a full spectrum of opportunities in college. Athletics communication directors are the chief storytellers of this Division III experience, providing competition coverage, human interest stories, and social media conversation. The work athletics communication directors do is vital to the Identity Initiative, as they provide numerous platforms on which to showcase the outstanding experiences Division III student-athletes have during their time on campus. Division III supports athletics communication directors by providing a best practices guide for campus communicators, professional development opportunities, and a recognition award for exemplary work.
