•
Seattle Pacific University
Jackson Stava joined Seattle Pacific as the athletic director in July 2016, and is the school’s fifth athletic director since Seattle Pacific began sponsoring intercollegiate sports in 1946. In this episode of the SPU Voices Podcast, Jackson shares inspiring stories about his atypical educational and professional path toward college athletics. He also walks us through the moment that the COVID-19 pandemic first impacted SPU Athletics and how the coaches successfully pivoted, providing meaningful opportunities for SPU's athletes even when they couldn't play.
