COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech Associate Athletics
Director Kevin Bostian is among 50 people selected by the Division

I Athletic Director's Institute in Texas later this month.
This year marks the 14th consecutive year for the 1A Athletic
Directors‘ Institute. The 1A Institute will be held at the
Four Seasons Resort in Las Colinas, Texas. The primary focus of the
Institute is for the Faculty to share their career experiences and

the curriculum. The Institute also provides participants with the
opportunity to become acquainted with leaders of the 1A Athletic
Director Profession, as well as colleagues from other 1A
Universities.
"We are honored that one of our loyal, dedicated staff members

a wonderful learning experience, professionally and personally,"
said Mark Wilson, Director of Athletics at Tech.
