DURHAM, N.C. – Duke Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. Kevin White has been named chairman of the new Collegiate Advisory Council, an initiative created and announced on Thursday by the United States Olympic Committee. The 11-member council is the first of its kind and represents the latest step taken by the USOC to increase collaboration with NCAA member institutions and conferences to elevate national engagement and support of Olympic sport opportunities.
Led by White, a USOC board member since March of 2015, the CAC is charged with bridging the gap between high-contributing collegiate stakeholders and the Olympic Movement.
