She's Got Game!

A Conversation About All Things Athletic with Jan Hathorn


W&L’s first female Athletic Director discusses the important distinction between an athlete and student-athlete, the changes to make W&L’s renowned swim test more equitable, and what it’s like to be a woman in a male-dominated profession.

"It's intentional on our part to make sure our students understand that that's our priority, is that you are a student and then you are an athlete...we want you to be a great student in all of the things you're doing in any classroom on campus, and then play your sport to the highest level, as well."
~ Jan Hathorn, on W&L's use of the term "student-athlete"
