7-23-13:   Attention

The mailing you will be receiving from the athletic department has a couple of errors which you need to be aware of:

1.  The Consent  for Cognitive testing should say "PRE testing.  NOT post testing.  The testing being done is a pre-test to have baseline information should a concussion ever occur.

2.  On the page where the starting dates are listed.  SWIMMING was left off the winter sports list.  Swimming begins on November 18th....

Sorry.
