April 1, 2016 -- I wanted to take this entry to mention one of the unsung heroes of the athletic department. This entry is technically for April Fools' Day, but there are no jokes or misdirection involved. Olivia Sabins is the Department Service Coordinator, and she certainly fulfills that role and many more. She has been a fixture in the athletic department for over 20 years (21 to be exact), and I do not see that changing anytime soon. She knows how the whole department runs and functions, and in addition to her technical expertise, she is a gentle soul that always has time for a hello and conversation. There have been several instances where my mentor was not available, and she stepped in and gave me some general athletic department work. She is certainly one of the people that will stay in mind even after I finish this mentorship, and she is living proof that kindness always goes a long way. Hats off to you Olivia Sabins!
