My Work Plan
This summer I will be working in the UGA Athletic Association Compliance Department. The facility I will be interning in is the Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall, 1 Selig Circle, Athens, GA 30602. It holds the offices for the athleric department within the top two stories of the building. The bottom two stories aren't accessible to the public.
The key people in the wing I am working in is Carla Williams (Deputy Director of Athletics), Glad Horvat (Assiant AD for Academics/Eligibility), Jim Booz (Sr. Associate Athletic Director for Compliance), Steve Flippen (Director of Cyompliance) and Rhonda Kilpatrick (Associate Director of Compliance and Student Services). My main supervisor is Glada Horvat. She is the Assiant AD for Academics/Eligibility. Her e-mail address is [email protected]. I also work under the supervision of Rhonda Kilpatrick.
Since I am using the office of a part time employee my hours are set around Ms. McBride's schedule. She usually works mornings so I come in Monday - Thursday I work from 1-5 PM, Friday I work 8:30-12:30. My main duties are calculating scholarship amounts, entering them into ATHENA, double checking the work of Glada and Rhonda (alerting them of any mistakes), updating student athletes information, scanning and archiving former athletes information, contacting student athletes, creating labels for envelopes, creating letters for mailing, compiling a list of awards given to UGA Athletes from NCAA, etc.
This is a volunteer interning. But I'm being paid in experience and hopefully recommendations in the future. My specific goals are to gain a better understanding what all goes into keeping an athletic department running. There are so many parts that I was not aware of. I'm learning as much as I can about each one to give me a better idea of which path I would be best suited for. Those are my main learning objectives.
