Alumni honored with Sixth Man Chair

A new tradition as established for alumni during halftime at the Men's Basketball Crimson Wave Holiday Invite on Friday, December 4. In athletics there is a tradition known as "The Sixth Man," someone, male or female, considered to be the person to lift the team in hustle, excitement and leadership.

And our alumni at CCSJ have exactly those kind of traits. They choose CCSJ for their education, they put in hard work to complete their degrees and are supportive of CCSJ in many ways. For these reasons it is fitting that "The Alumni Sixth Person Chair" was established.

The honorary chair will be available for our alumni to sign at designated athletic events and in the Alumni Office.
