Landmark Student-Athlete Named To NCAA DIII SAAC

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Junior Alexander Kulp (Wyncote, PA/Roman Catholic HS) of the Moravian College men’s soccer team has been selected to represent the Landmark Conference on the NCAA Division III National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Kulp is one of just 32 student-athletes selected to the national committee, and he will remain on the committee until May of 2011. Along with the Landmark, Kulp will be serving as the representative for the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

As a member of the NCAA Division III National SAAC Kulp will attend three meetings annually, including the NCAA Convention, to be held in Washington, D.C. in January 2009, as he works with his fellow committee members to address issues involving student-athletes in all Divisions. He will attend his first NCAA meetings July 17 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Kulp, a business major at Moravian, will begin his junior year this fall and is a two-year member of the Greyhound men's soccer program. Last fall, Kulp played in seven matches as a defender, starting three of them. He is a member of both the Moravian and Landmark SAAC and demonstrated strong leadership as a member of several organizations in his college career.

Kulp is the second Moravian student-athlete to serve on the NCAA Division III SAAC. Stephanie Rickards, a 1999 Moravian graduate, was a member of the NCAA Division III SAAC from 1999 through 2001 and served as a representative for the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference.

The mission of the NCAA Division III SAAC is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity for all student-athletes; protecting student-athlete welfare; and fostering a positive student-athlete image, while maintaining the tenants of the Division III philosophy.
