Dear Coug Family,
"Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has yet to come. We have only today. Let us begin."
--Mother Theresa
As we enter the month of September tomorrow, we also begin National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and join with campuses around the nation in educating our students, faculty, staff and community on the warning signs of suicide. This year, our efforts in Athletics are more personal, with the loss of Tyler Hilinski last January.
Suicide is a national crisis and now the second-leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds. Over the past several months, our student-athletes, coaches and staff, have been working together to create an environment and culture filled with hope, positivity and healing.
