"Hi! My name is Sam Yothers and I use she/her pronouns. I graduated from WCU in 2021 with a Health Science - Sports Medicine concentration degree, and I am currently in the Higher Education Policy and Student Affairs program here. As an undergraduate student I was the lead manager for the men's basketball team where I worked with a lot of parents/family, planned many game-day events, and worked long summers of camps so I am very ready and excited for orientation!"
