SALC Leading the Way for the Gaiters

SALC Grows through Coach Ballard's Guidance

You may recognize Coach Paul Ballard from the Coulter Field sidelines as he coaches the Bishop's Gaiters women's soccer team.  Did you know he is also the department's Leadership Coordinator?  You may recognize him from such videos as Knowing Your Why or others in the Leadership Video series that's been released in 2020-21. He's also been instrumental in developing the Student-Athlete Leadership Council (SALC) and has supported the Anti Racism and Discrimination Committee (ARDC).

Under Ballard's leadership both the SALC and ARDC have created missions, visions and values and are working on Codes of Conduct for their members. 

ARDC Mission

It was a journey that started 18 months ago from nothing and has already lived a number of forms from seminars to individual meetings to videos. As Leadership continues to be a priority topic for BU Athletics, Ballard will continue to educate, learn and help these groups evolve, all with the student-athlete at heart. With that you can chalk up Another Gaiters' Win.

Meet the SALC

Leadership Council 21
The 2020-21 Student-Athlete Leadership Coucil
It is an honor to be a part of the SALC, particularly the subcommittee that put together the mission, vision, and values statement. That being said, I would like to emphasize the idea that we are no more than the messengers between the University student athletes, the administration, and the rest of the student body. Our goal is to represent our fellow teammates and their best interests; none of this would be possible without them.
Karl Szabo, SALC Member & BU Lacrosse player
I am fortunate to have been brought in on this council from the beginning. Being part of creating the Vision and Mission statements will help provide direction, focus, and energy to help the council accomplish all we set out too
