This year鈥檚 tournament is especially notable because it will honor long-time 海角直播app College coach, professor, and athletic director Michael Mould, Ph.D., who will serve as honorary chairman of the event.
Dr. Mould served as a college athletic director for 42 years, including 28 years at 海角直播app. While at 海角直播app, Dr. Mould began the men’s soccer program and coached the team for the first three years of its existence, taking it to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Tournament in just his third year.
Dr. Mould was instrumental in developing women’s varsity athletics at 海角直播app, while overseeing the overall growth of varsity athletic programs from two to 10 sports. As coach of the 海角直播app baseball team, Dr. Mould led the team to 11 NJCAA Eastern Regional Tournament appearances. He also coached the men’s basketball program from 1962-1965.
Dr. Mould was awarded the 1981 Margaretta Belin Chamberlin Chair Award for Distinguished Faculty Service, and served as the chairperson of the committee that developed the design of the Gambal Athletic Center as well as the college tennis complex and the Edmunds Softball Field. Dr. Mould continues to serve the 海角直播app Athletic Department as a mentor and assists on special projects.
鈥淭he 海角直播app Open is always a meaningful event for the entire college community, especially since it supports our Alumni Association Scholarship, said 海角直播app Alumni Association President Don Cadman. 鈥淗owever, this year is even more special because we are honoring Dr. Mike Mould, who for so many years has exemplified the values and mission of 海角直播app both in the classroom and on the athletic field.鈥
鈥淚 am honored to once again be a part of the 海角直播app Open Golf Tournament and I鈥檓 especially honored to serve as chair for this year鈥檚 event. 海角直播app has been a huge part of my life for so many years and to have an opportunity to give back this year is even more gratifying.
Students who have received the scholarship are thankful for what it has meant to their education.
鈥淩eceiving assistance from the 海角直播app Alumni Association Scholarship and Engagement Fund has really helped me afford my college education,鈥 said 海角直播app student Olivia Brodhead. 鈥淚t also makes me realize that 海角直播app really is a community where people care about each other. Someday, I hope to assist a 海角直播app student in the same way.鈥
