Daemen Student-Athletes Continue "Reading Wildcats" Program

AMHERST, N.Y. - On Friday, March 31, student-athletes from the Daemen College men's and women's soccer, and women's volleyball teams continued a newly developed program entitled "Reading Wildcats", a community outreach initiative in which Daemen student-athletes travel to local elementary schools where they read and interact with students in an educational setting.  Last week's session was conducted at the Mary Queen of Angels School in Cheektowaga.
 
Team members read books with the children and answered their questions about what it takes to become a collegiate student-athlete.  

The "Reading Wildcats" program is an ongoing initiative of Daemen Athletics.  For more information about the program and how to schedule Daemen student-athletes to a visit a school near you, please contact Mame Yaa Ankoma-Mensa, student-athletes success and community engagement coordinator at mankomam@daemen.edu.
