Walking through the front doors of Rec Hall, if one turns right, there is a door labeled “Please come in.”
Beyond that door is an entry room that speaks to the Penn State men’s volleyball program’s success — the left side is lined with trophies and the right is covered with pictures of outstanding players.
Although the pictures don't display his face, they are a testament to the success of coach Mark Pavlik.
The coach, whose door is always open to players and student-reporters alike, does not often speak of his personal success, but, on May 26, USA Volleyball recognized his achievements by awarding him the Donald Shondell All-Time Great Coach Award- Contemporary Division.
