Brett Bennett, associate professor and director of the University of Louisiana at
Monroe radiologic technology program, was recently selected to serve as a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Academic Cabinet through
March 2015.
“I consider it an honor to represent the University of Louisiana at Monroe and the
Sun Belt Conference at the national level,” said Bennett. “The most important aspect
of the student-athlete experience is education. I hope to help protect that for every
student-athlete with my efforts on this cabinet.”

Representative, and is a member of the University Athletics Academic Advisory Committee.

cabinets that report to the councils and are responsible for academic affairs; amateurism;
awards, benefits, expenses and financial aid; recruiting and athletics personnel issues;
championships, and the administrative functions of Division I.
During his service on the Academic Cabinet, Bennett will join 20 other representatives
from schools across the country in order to help guide Division I Athletics on all
academic matters and responsibilities.

of Education degree in administration and supervision from ULM.
