It's hard to believe that Jacki Silar's retirement has arrived! It really does seem like it was just yesterday when I arrived at Duke and finally had the opportunity to work within Jacki's legendary leadership.
That was actually 10 years ago! Incredible. During these past 10 years, I have benefited from her passion for collegiate athletics, genuine dedication to the student-athletes (past and present), love for the sport of field hockey and our Duke program, and for guiding her coaches to create and provide the most comprehensive, successful, and healthy environment for our teams.
I knew plans of her eventual retirement loomed ahead…I just never expected it to actually happen!
