Campus Champion

Dan Surdam, associate sports information director since 2000, recently received the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) 2021 Achievement Award in the College Division. CoSIDA is not the first to recognize Dan’s outstanding work as an athletics communications professional. Athletics directors, trainers, coaches and especially the student-athletes know how much he cares for each of them and the teams he covers as the primary media contact for the Red Dragon soccer, ice hockey, lacrosse, field hockey and wrestling teams. Dan’s strong work ethic as a student mentor, public address announcer and, more recently, dedicated COVID-19 pool testing attendant are evidence of an award-winning campus champion.
