I am happy to see OUR coach is helping to give back to the community, not to mention helping with such a worthy cause. That type of involvement seems to be typical of the type of man Coach D is. The more of the LU coaches that can get actively involved in the Central VA community, the better. I know we have some that don't even show their faces, and that is a crying shame.

Building bridges to the community and incorporating the community with LU is part of the equation of LU's long term success. Opening up the campus and building relationships with the community at large will go a long way to overcoming some of the rifts and old bad blood that is harbored toward LU (some of which LU's posturing over the years has elicited.) When both institution and city realize that they are dependent on each other for ultimate success, that will be a good day for institutional development/city growth.
