“We are very happy that Dr. McLeod has chosen to bring her significant academic expertise and experience here within the AT program and accept this exciting new leadership opportunity as the director of our AT program,” said Dr. Eric Sauers, professor and chair of the Department of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences which houses the AT program. “She is extremely well qualified and is very well respected within the athletic training profession, the University, and the community, as an academic leader. Furthermore, she has the full faith and confidence of the administration, AT faculty, alumni, and the students.”
