Cleveland State Vice President & Director of Athletics Scott Garrett joins ADU’s Tai M. Brown at the 2023 NACDA Convention to reflect on a year in which the Vikings experienced “maximum achievement” and share insight into how he prepared the institution for success. Garrett emphasizes the importance of a shared vision across the university and how his department— including administrators, coaches, support staff and student-athletes— operates with a “me not we” mindset and service-oriented mission. Garrett sums up the paradox of achieving consistent success with a quote from a mentor: “Yesterday’s records are tomorrow’s expectations.”
