Initiatives include updating the conference\u2019s policies and procedures and student-athlete code of conduct, as well as establishing educational programming and requirements for the NCHC schools and the conference office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe general well-being of our student-athletes in today\u2019s world of college athletics and campus life is of utmost importance,\u201d NCHC commissioner Josh Fenton said in a statement. \u201cWe believe the work produced by this task force now and into the future can better support the needs and challenges faced by student-athletes across the NCHC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group consists of two athletic directors (Colorado College\u2019s Lesley Irvine and St. Cloud State\u2019s Heather Weems), two coaches (North Dakota head coach Brad Berry and Colorado College assistant Leon Hayward), two faculty athletics representatives (Western Michigan\u2019s Lisa DeChano-Cook and Miami\u2019s Ron Scott), and a president\/chancellor designee (St. Cloud State\u2019s Judith Siminoe).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to foster an environment across the conference that underscores and supports the value of every student athlete, administrator, staff member or coach on our campuses and throughout the conference.
