Dwight Hollier, a standout UNC and pro linebacker who has continued to make a positive mark on football as Vice President of Wellness and Clinical Services for the NFL, is returning to Carolina as Senior Associate Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Health, Well-Being and Program Outreach.
In this newly-created role, Hollier will oversee the Strength and Conditioning, Sports Medicine and Nutrition, and Student-Athlete Development units within the Department of Athletics. He will also serve on the department's Executive Leadership Team and as a sport administrator.
"Our focus is to make the student-athlete experience at Carolina as rewarding as it can be – and that means continuing to look for ways to improve and innovate in the areas of physical health, mental health, mentoring and leadership,'' UNC Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham said.
