CoSIDA members in their 20s offer perceptions of the job heading into the new decade and offer visions of what it would have to look like for them to stick around for the next 20 years in the cover story for the Winter 2020 edition of CoSIDA 360.
CoSIDA president Herb Vincent uses his column to update the membership on the progress of the governance structure working group and encourages all members to reach out to any member of the group with comments or questions.
As we head into the spring season — which means heading back outside under the sun — a profile on Theresa Kurtz of the Mountain West Conference and her mother reminds us the importance of sunscreen and taking care of our health.
The importance of media training for student-athletes, attending a Grateful Dead concert with Bill Walton, creating an athletics communications academic major from scratch and tips for job seekers looking to put your best foot forward are just a few of the highlights of the issue.

About CoSIDA 360
The print and digital magazine was one of the new CoSIDA membership initiative undertaken during the 2015-16 academic year which included the January 26, 2016 launch of our
CoSIDAConnect online community; the
CoSIDA mentorship program; new
text messaging service; and
CoSIDA After Hours social program.
CoSIDA 360's aim is to celebrate telling our members' stories, to educate our members, and to advocate for the profession and its professionals. The print magazine is mailed to every current CoSIDA member and also distributed to athletic directors, conference commissioners and external CoSIDA stakeholders. A new issue of the glossy stock magazine is released each February, May, August and November.
