New staff member, Alan Pruitt is a grant funded adaptive athlete specialist through the VA and holds multiple national athletic coaching certifications in adaptive sports, running, indoor rowing, swimming, and sports performance. He is helping students with disabilities find their passion and get in shape. Coordinator of Physical and Wellness Education, Jane Peabody is proud to make this a reality for many students, too.
