A MESSAGE FROM KEN KAVANAGH DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
Thank you for your consideration of membership in the Eagles Club! We were proud to generate many 2022-23 highlights on and off our various playing venues, while adjusting expectations, schedules and loss due to Hurricane Ian.
We look back on numerous Green & Blue team and individual successes, again commencing with a 3.44 cumulative grade point average and over 6,000 community service hours. Athletically, our successes range from another NCAA opening round victory and final Top 25 national ranking for women’s basketball (the only mid-major to achieve such), three additional NCAA appearances (women’s soccer, volleyball, and men’s tennis) and six total conference championships, to two ASUN Coaches of the Year, and our latest Academic and playing All Americans (highest single year ever with four each). We are equally proud of enshrining our second Athletics Hall of Fame Class and witnessing Dana Axner (Volleyball) as our tenth Eagle enshrined into the FGCU Hall of Famethe highest honor for an FGCU student.
Each year we ask our student-athletes to give 110% of themselves both on and off the field. Likewise, our goal is to provide them with the resources needed for continued victories and celebrations. We look to you, our loyal friends and supporters to do the same by giving a 110% donation. Additionally, we continue to ask for capital investments to complete the final phases of our Division I transition facility enhancements. In the ever-changing world of intercollegiate athletics, your confidence in us provides the students with enhanced scholarships, mental wellness, and nutritional components. You make the difference! Please ask us how you can help benefit generations of future Eagles.
I feel fortunate to call so many of you friends and I truly believe our best years are ahead of us!
Wings Up, God Bless & Go Eagles!
