He is extremely diligent with his academic coursework and has taken challenging classes at IUP while also participating in intercollegiate athletics."
"Chris has given his time to also tutor other students, and is clearly focused on his career path of entering a physical therapy program once he completes his B.S. requirements in athletic training."
