"The Bobby Purcell Mentoring Program provides a wonderful opportunity for our Executive Committee and Past Presidents to build meaningful relationships with some of the brightest, upcoming leaders in our industry. Our Executive Committee is proud that the 2023-2024 class represents a diverse background from various levels of college athletics. Congratulations to this wonderful group of professionals, who we are confident will continue to have a positive impact on athletics development for years to come."
Bobby Purcell, of whom the program is named after, has served in a number of capacities since joining the NC State athletics department in 1981. He was Executive Director of the Wolfpack Club from 1991 until he retired in 2020 and in July 2020, he was named a Special Assistant to Athletics Director Boo Corrigan. Purcell has been a champion for mentoring fundraisers on his campus and around the nation his entire career. Purcell's influence is widespread in college athletics, as 26 former staff members serve at other universities. This continued focus on broadening the learning opportunities for the entire membership will allow our organization and our campuses to draw on the power of fresh ideas and perspectives.
