“Being selected to participate in the 2010 Class of the NCAA Leadership Institute for Ethnic Minority Males and Females has truly been a blessing,” remarked Hill.  “The information I’ve learned coupled with the network of friends that I have made over the past twelve months has proved to be invaluable to my growth as a leader both personally and professionally. The NCAA office of Diversity and Inclusion has done a tremendous job in establishing a top notch curriculum filled with extraordinary facilitators and staff and I am extremely proud to be a graduate of this program. I would sincerely like to thank them along with the entire C.W. Post Athletic Department and the many other family and friends who supported me along this journey.“
