BLINN COLLEGE - SPRING ATHLETIC GUIDE 2021
WELCOME FROM THE CHANCELLOR CONTENTS Dear Buccaneer fans, On behalf of the Blinn College District, I welcome you to another great season of Buccaneer athletics as we continue a proud legacy that includes 41 national championships since 1987. In addition to their success in intercollegiate competition, Blinn students enjoy a supportive community at a campus that continues to grow. In recent years, the Blinn-Brenham Campus has welcomed the Kruse Center, a 36,000-square-foot student recreation and activities center that also hosts Buccaneer volleyball and basketball games; the Doyle Coatney Center, an 11,184-square-foot indoor baseball and softball workout facility; and Mill Creek Hall, a 464-bed residence hall. This year, construction is underway on the new science, technology, engineering, and innovation building that will offer state-of-the-art instructional space for Blinn’s most cutting-edge programs. This exciting facility includes a 3,000-square-foot innovation lab and allows Blinn to introduce innovative programs such as cybersecurity and drone maintenance and repair. These new courses will add to Blinn’s reputation as one of the state’s leading community colleges. According to Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board data, Blinn’s academic transfer rate ranks No. 1 in the state and far exceeds the statewide average. Just as importantly, out-of-district Blinn students save 44% in tuition and fees compared to the average state university. Few colleges can offer this combination of educational excellence and affordability. Thank you for supporting the Blinn College District and its student athletes. I wish you the best of luck during the upcoming season.
Mary Hensley, Ed.D. Chancellor of the Blinn College District
