At the request of the NCAA, the intern should<br />
be included as part of the athletics department’s<br />
leadership team.<br />
“The program was created to encourage the<br />
professional development of would-be Division III<br />
athletics administrators, and also to help enhance<br />
the diversity and inclusion of our division,” said Dan<br />
Dutcher, NCAA Vice President of Division III. “In<br />
particular, the internship provides would-be athletics<br />
communicators with the background and experience<br />
to better tell the Division III student-athlete story.”<br />
With no more than 19 internship grants available<br />
annually, athletics communications directors may<br />
need to apply in multiple years. But Flegel has some<br />
advice: “Don’t give up. We did not get the grant<br />
the first year we applied. I was discouraged and<br />
considered not applying a second time but am so glad<br />
I did because this has worked out better than I had<br />
hoped.”<br />
