Sandy D’Alemberte
President Emeritus and Professor, Florida State University
During my tenure as President at Florida State University, athletics became a first-tier issue for the University and selection of a new AD a critical priority. We conducted a very thorough nationwide search and selected Dave Hart, whose credentials were extraordinary. Dave turned his energies to improvements to the total program, paying particular attention to the disparities between our men’s and women’s sports. Dave recruited outstanding coaches, directed the construction of new facilities and created a culture that was compatible with that of the University. He paid attention to graduation rates and to the conduct of student-athletes. During his tenure, FSU took major strides in the Directors’ Cup and stability was established financially and among head coaching tenures. I have continued to follow Dave’s career and know that his reputation remains at the very top nationally. He remains an exceptional resource for coaches, athletics directors and presidents in an ever-changing athletic landscape.
