SFC Prez appointed to NCAA Women’s Committee
Martinez-Saenz to help provide opportunities for female athletes
St. Francis College President Miguel Martinez-Saenz was appointed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Committee on Women’s Athletics last week.
The Brooklyn Heights resident, who began helming the diminutive Remsen Street school in 2017 after replacing former President Brendan J. Dugan, will help lead the NCAA’s efforts to provide equitable opportunities, fair treatment and respect for all women in all aspects of intercollegiate athletics.
“Women make up more than 60 percent of our student body and our women’s athletics program is cornerstone to our institution’s overall mission,” said Martinez-Saenz, who helped introduce women’s soccer as the 10th NCAA Division I sport at SFC Brooklyn in 2019.
