Shelly Mullenix, Senior Associate AD for Health and Wellness, on LSU's Fight Against COVID-19
Description
Today's episode is a different one, because we are all currently living in a different world that's changing every day. COVID-19 has altered everything for us all, and LSU Athletics is no different.
Shelly Mullenix (6:10) is LSU's Senior Associate Athletic Director for Health and Wellness, and she's helping make crucial decisions for -- and providing information every day to -- LSU's student-athletes and staff, who, like the rest of the world, are in a state of limbo as the world stops to fight this virus.
Shelly isn't just an expert on so many subjects related to this virus -- health and wellness, mental health, and administrative decision-making. She's also a compassionate, thoughtful leader, and she is working tirelessly to make sure LSU's student-athletes stay healthy, mentally and physically, at a time when that mission is fraught with challenges.
Today's conversation isn't just applicable to student-athletes, though. We can all learn from Shelly's expertise, involvement, and information.
