Corpuz attends NCAA Convention as part of Student Immersion Program

BETHANY, W.Va. – Bethany College football student-athlete Keone Corpuz was among 40 individuals who were selected to the 2024 NCAA Division III Student Immersion Program during the NCAA Convention on Jan. 10-13, in Phoenix, Ariz.

"I am very thankful for being selected to represent Bethany College and attend the NCAA Convention for the Student Immersion Program" said Corpuz. "Attending the convention provided valuable means for personal and professional growth and allowed me to share my experiences, exchange ideas, and build friendships with like-minded individuals who are equally passionate about college athletics".

At the NCAA Convention, Corpuz had the chance to build on his previous leadership experience. Corpuz joined Bethany's Director of Athletics Brian Sansom and Senior Associate Athletic Director Jen Windmiller at the convention, witnessing key business meetings and networking with the power brokers of collegiate athletics.

Established in 2015, the NCAA Division III governance staff and the NCAA Office of Inclusion partnered on a program that brings 40 ethnic minority students to the NCAA Convention. The Student Immersion Program is geared towards people of color and ethnic minorities to provide networking opportunities, leadership training, and prepare student-athletes for careers in athletic administration and coaching. The programming's objective is to create a pool of individuals that will eventually diversify Division III's coaching and/or administrative landscape.
