Texas Tech football safety Keith Cockrum has been selected to represent Texas Tech University at the third annual NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference. The conference will be held May 31 - June 4, 1999 at Disneys Wide World of Sports and Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
A total of 300 student-athletes were selected to participate in the conference. Student-athletes were nominated from NCAA member institutions that participate in the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program.
Participating male and female student-athlete's will represent all NCAA divisions, 20 different sports and 11 countries.
The mission of the NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference is, through challenging and thought-provoking dialogue and activities, to prepare a diverse group of student-athletes to take an active leadership role on their campuses and in their communities.
The 1999 NCAA Leadership Conference will focus on topics identified during the nomination process as well as topics recommended by members of the Division I, II and III NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committees who serve as an Association-wide voice for student-athlete issues.
Those participating will engage in a variety of developmental activities designed to enhance their communication, decision-making and problem-solving skills. As a result of participation, student-athlete's will build a long-lasting network of future leaders, be better able to address issues that are critical to student-athletes on campus and complete a self-directed project to address a critical issue facing the campus.
