Blackbird Club
Brad Cohen
Director of Athletics, LIU Brooklyn Dear Fellow Blackbird, This is an exciting time to be part of LIU’s dynamic athletic program. As a life-long Blackbird and LIU Brooklyn’s new Director of Athletics, I am inspired by our students and how they are taking to the athletic fields and showing us the value of team work as they rise to the top ranks of their respective sports. At LIU, we value the critical role of athletics in the lives of our students, on campus, and in the community, and we know that their success would not be possible without the support of alumni and friends. Our teams are stronger than ever, led by remarkable coaches, inspired by outstanding student athletes, and supported by Blackbirds near and far. I invite you to join me as we take to the fields, courts and arenas and share your Blackbird pride! Sincerely, Brad Cohen Director of Athletics
