Husky athletic director, Jen Cohen released an open letter today to all Huskies; near and far, and in all walks of life.
Cohen has a huge challenge ahead as the director of Husky athletics, and she’s taken some tough steps and made hard decisions — so we applaud her and recognize that there’s no person better for the job at this time.
Here’s an excerpt from the letter:
“Our students and our teams have repeatedly demonstrated their strength, resilience, and ability to overcome challenges. Wins, scores, and stats are no longer what matter and, in the context of this crisis, our disappointment in a game or a season is largely irrelevant. I’ve been so inspired by our seniors, who have handled these unforeseen circumstances with class and leadership. These young women and men have captured our hearts over the years, and I would give anything to see them compete again as Huskies.
“We are all in this together and we can draw on the knowledge that with great challenges come incredible growth opportunities. I am confident that together as Huskies – student-athletes, coaches, staff, and fans – we will emerge stronger than ever. When the time is right, we will join together in the joy of athletic competition and celebrate our ability to do just that. It will be epic.”
