On January 14, 2024, GSU Director of Athletics Jesse Skiles, Lecturer of Business & Senior Women’s Administrator Kristen Tunno, and Associate Professor of Business Administration & Faculty Athletics Representative Dr. Dwight Heaster represented Glenville State University at the 2025 NCAA Convention held in Nashville Tennessee.  

The annual event gathered athletic administrators, coaches, and key stakeholders from over 900 collegiate programs to discuss the future direction of college athletics. With Educational seminars held throughout the week, key points discussed varied from legislative proposals and how sports betting impacts student athletes, to expanding opportunities for women’s athletics and much more. 

A highlight from the convention was GSU Athletic Director Jesse Skiles being selected as a panelist for "D II: Name, Image and Likeness: What Are Others Doing At The Division II Level?" “I was honored to be selected as a panelist and proud to represent Glenville State University and the Mountain East Conference,” said Skiles. “I’d also like to thank Dr. Dwight Heaster, Kristen Tunno for attending, and Jaycie Johnson for her support throughout the week.” 

Additionally, Dr. Dwight Heaster was selected to serve a five-year term on the NCAA International Student Records Committee, further strengthening GSU’s involvement in national collegiate athletics.
