Justin DeweeseJustin has accepted the role of AD of Operations and Communications in the fall of 2021. Justin is a graduate from Ohio university where he majored in business. Justin and I have worked together to create new procedures for athletic events within Goshen College's athletic department. Justin gave me full control for the gym gameday setup crew that is where most of my hours came from.

Teamwork
Working in this athletic department has been very beneficial to my career as it helps me collaborate with many different groups of people. Justin has helped me with my ability to manage students and an entire weekend full of sporting events. I discussed in my blog post managing groups of people is a very tough task, but the feel after a successful ran event is terrific.
Working with the athletic trainer Emily to ensue that athletes are covered makes you think about your job from a different perspective. Coach miller the women's basketball coach has been at Goshen as an employee for the longest in the department, she has great insight and is has been in every situation possible. Coach Miller creates the schedule for the gym so I had to work with her to figure out times to have our indoor gameday setup crew get the gym set up. Each member of the athletic department has helped or I had to work with in some capacity make working at Goshen College so much easier.
